The yearbook even Orwell couldn't predict.

This yearbook, The 1984
Rhododendron, is for you, the
students of ASU. How trite.
That exact sentence has been
used by every editor of every
yearbook ever produced. It
has the ring of the 'big He'
used so effectively by
political hacks and P.R.
executives.

If yearbooks are really
produced for students, then
why do so few students buy
them? Why is the yearbook
publishing industry slowly
dying off? Why are many
universities curtailing
yearbook programs entirely?

We on the staff of The
1984 Rhododendron, by and
large, share the obvious
contempt and dislike which
so many students have
toward the 'basic' yearbook.
We are, by and large, a staff
with little or no experience in
the production of yearbooks.
We are a varied assembly of
journalists, photographers,
and designers who were
willing to work their butts
off to create a yearbook
unlike anything ever seen
before.

Our premise was simple -
what HAS been seen before
is no longer relevant,
marketable, or of value to
the vast majority of students.
In essence, we are a group of
people who not only believe
that yearbooks were boring,
poorly designed, and archaic,
but also that a yearbook
could be created which was
exciting, well designed, and
fun to read.

This book is the result of
our efforts, and our efforts
were monumental. Quality,
after all, demands a lot of
time and hard work. We
have tried to do all of those
things which students have
wanted in a yearbook for

ages: twice as many color
pages with five times the
number of color prints;
effectively organized, modern
design and graphics as
opposed to what I call the
'trash compactor layout' so
evident in other books; well
reported and written
journalism as opposed to the
flaky, 'featuresque' writing
style so often used in the
past; and an outrageous
doubling of the total number
of photographs of students -
from a previous average of
800 prints to over 1600.

Sure, we have missed
covering a few of the more
than 200 clubs and
organizations on campus, and
even 1600 photos cannot
insure that YOUR picture is
in the book. There is a point
at which realistic goals
become illusionary fantasies,
and attempting to cover
every group, every person,
and every event on a campus
of this size definitely falls
into the illusion category.

Given that there exists here
at ASU and on many other
campuses very little if any
administrative support for the
yearbook program (whether in
budgets, supervision, input or
even emotional support), it
truly falls upon you, the
student for whom this book
was produced, to help us feel
that the 40-hour weeks at an
average of lOc per hour,
missed classes and exams.

lowered GPA's, all-night work
sessions, and (believe me),
stomach ulcers and
dangerously frayed nerves,
were worth the effort. This is
no joke; we as a staff have
worked so hard and long on
this thing, with so little
recognition or input from the
university, that it approaches
the psychotic. Ultimately, if I
had it to do over again -
knowing what I now know
concerning a university's
expectations that a yearbook
will be pulled out of a magic
hat the third week of April,
supplying NO information
akin to that received by a
newspaper, with NO phone
calls from clubs or academic
departments concerning
events or story ideas, and
with NO memos inquiring as
to our progress or
achievement - I would not
attempt the project. This
university, having gained
close to $30,000.00 from the
yearbook for other projects
when it switched to a
subscription plan, is already
in the process of deciding
whether or not to phase-out
this publication.

Now it is only a numbers
game, the future of the
yearbook resting upon how
many students will fork out
the $5.00, $7.00 or $10.00, in
advance for a book produced
by an ignored and severely
underpaid and unappreciated
staff. The plan is to gain

another $10-$15,000 over the
next few years by eliminating
the print-cost student-fee
budget entirely, and further
raising the price-per-book.

You, the student body,
have the right to know these
facts and figures, and you,
the student body, will
ultimately decide whether
The Rhododendron will
survive.

Unlike this year's Greek
housing proposal, Student
Activities Room, H'appy's
entertainment center, and a
hundred other costly projects
which the university supports
and is asking you to pay for,
the yearbook no longer
fulfills the marketing-tool role
to increase enrollment and
the coffers of this institution.

Slide shows and media
presentations have taken its
place in the important area
of student recruitment. The
only remaining 'market', or
reason for the continued
existence of the yearbook, is
you - the student body of
Appalachian State University.

This, then, is the 'state of
the yearbook' at ASU and
throughout the country. That
this yearbook exists at all is
testimony to the great
determination and dedication
of a select few, the staff of
The 1984 Rhododendron. My
gratitude to them is
immeasurable, and I hope
this bound volume makes the
effort worth the trials.

TURNED TO SCRAP

Dismantled into an assortment of parts, gears,

and chopped-up blades, Boone's largest tourist

attraction slipped quietly out of town.

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE HOBBS

Like many of the students who come
to ASU the windmill that once stood a top
Howard's Knob proved to be only a
transient four year resident.

Billed as "the world's largest wind-
driven generator" the windmill was more
successful at generating a flurry of
attention rather than electricity. Televi-
sion crews came from all over to report
on it. So many tourists travelled up the
road to see it that local residents began
to feel like traffic cops. Even a cult of
sorts was formed by a group who called
themselves "Wooshies" and light-
heartedly revered the machine.

Born of an idea within the federal
government in the early 1970's the
windmill became the prized child of the
Department of Energy, NASA, General
Electric, the Blue Ridge Electrical
Membership Co-op, and locals. Construc-
tion began in June of 1978 and was
completed by July 1979 when dedication
services were held.

Local residents and students alike
kept their eyes attended to the top of the
hill overlooking Boone watching for any
sign of movement from the 220 foot
wingspan. Occasionally the attentive were
rewarded. At times the blades moved
slowly. Being tested at various angles to
the wind, operators rotated the blades. It
was a rare day when the windmill was
seen in full splendor with nothing but the
wind driving it.

The project was quickly beset by
problems. Howard's Knob residents
complained of television interference,
vibrations, and a mysterious "booming"
sound. Continuing mechanical problems
culminated in the breaking of the 22

"It met every objective except
one, and that was simply that
it was never turned over to the
electric utility to operate."

bolts that held the windmill's blades to
the generator shaft.

The various agencies and firms
involved scrambled for ideas and money
in an effort to continue the experiment.
However, in a climate of governmental
austerity, administrators were hesitant to
commit funds to a project that had run
up a tab of $30 million and promised
more unknown costs. The pride of Boone
was scuttled.

Persons connected with the project
insist that the windmill was not a failure.
"It met every objective except one," said
Bob Bumgarner of BREMCO, "and that
was simply that it was never turned over
to the electric utility to operate." It was
the first machine to generate 2000
kilowatts of electricity from the power of
the wind and the experience gained has
been applied to the building and
operation of three similar windmills in the
state of Washington.

But it's all history now. On August
17th, just as students began drifting back
into town the week before registration,
workmen burned off bolts and the first
blade was taken off. The next day the
second one was removed. By the time we
had memorized our class schedules the
windmill was gone. The machine that had
known a whirlwind of fanfare slipped out
of town on flatbed trucks.

During the first few days of the 1983 faltj
semester, workmen came to Boone to
dismantle the windmill. At top, the burning off
of bolts to allow crane operators to lower the
blade to the ground. Middle, one blade has
been removed. Bottom, the first blade comes
to rest on the ground.

BEAUTY VS. BIG BUCKS

In the headlong rush for development and

profit, will the high country's greatest
attraction - scenic beauty, be destroyed?

ARTICLE BY ANGELO CERCHIONE
PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAVID HUNTLEY

Someone sees an outlandish gas
station or an obtrusive condominium and
reacts to the sight. Tutored or untutored,
he or she knows that something is wrong
and asks, "Why do they permit this to
happen?" The question takes us back to
Earth Day and the words of the most
often quoted possum of the seventies,
Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he
is us."

The problem is one of aesthetics - of
the violation of beauty and the thoughtful
preservation in the midst of necessary
development.

No one runs for office in this area
with a campaign slogan that blares: "We
gotta stay beautiful!" and yet, most
people are drawn to the area or refuse to
leave it because of its beauty. In this
beauty, there is more than satisfaction.
There is also money.

Look at the numbers. This area
entertains a million tourists a year who
spend $45 million while visiting. That $45
million stimulates other spending as it
trickles down from some 1,600 people
directly employed in tourist-related
industries to others - a multiplier effect
five times greater than the initial
expenditure. Economic studies show that
this figure will increase, if permitted.

"If permitted" brings us back to
aesthetics. Those with money and
mobility come here now because of our
"visual amenities." Consistently, tourists
answer the question on survey after

survey, "Why did you come to this area?"
with one word: "scenery." To them, every
other attraction is considered secondary.
Unfortunately, that scenery is becoming
frayed. Uncollected roadside junk, uncon-
demned derelict housing, indiscriminate

tree cutting, obscenely large signs,
flashing lights, grotesquely-colored ser-
vice stations, violated flood plains, gouged
and ungrassed banks - all offend the
sensibilities.

Understand, this is no list of
complaints by the prissy. People with
money come here to enjoy the scenery.

When the enjoyment is diminished, the
moneyed and mobile will move away and
find a new beautiful place. When they do,
a quarter billion dollars will go with them.

Of greater importance, but harder yet
to teach, is that beauty is a measure of
environmental health. We look in a mirror
to learn something of our condition. Some
of us still need to learn how to look into
nature's mirror and measure fitness.

But not all of us are blind to the
importance of environmental preserva-
tion, for there have been important steps
taken to repair damage, educate the laity,
and make things right. The state's ridge
line legislation and Boone's tree preserva-
tion and sign ordinances are recent positive
in steps taken by local and state leaders.

These steps have been taken none too
soon. The southeastern and central
sunbelt is attracting more and more
Americans who are escaping the cold
north. The move into the south-west will
be slowed by the diminishing water table,
making the beauty and water-rich Ap-
palachian mountains even more popular.
The test of the future is how well we can
accommodate growth (for the courts will
not act to stem the tide by closing the
door to migration) and preserve a prudent
degree of environmental health.

In the mountains of North Carolina
there is nothing frivolous in lobbying for
aesthetics. It is a measure of our health
and an indication of our ability to cope
with all of those tomorrows.

DRY COUNTY BLUES

The University attempts to substitute for
a ciosed-down Blowing Rock, but will it be
enough to satiate the student body's thirst?

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY BABETTE MUNN

Having friends over for dinner and
wine or going out with friends to have a
cold beer are not easy tasks in Boone. To
top it off the nightlife in Blowing Rock
has seen better days. But amidst all the
changes, the university has rallied to
provide a music hall for the students, and
there may soon be a referendum for beer
in Boone.

There exists a long history of conflict
concerning alcohol in North Carolina and
Watuaga County. When the 21st Amend-
ment was passed, Prohibition was halted.
But while most of the state went wet,
Watuaga County was left dry. With time
Blowing Rock became the watering hole
for the area. P.B. Scott's Music Hall and
Clydes to name a few were the night spots
for ASU students. P.B. Scott's had some
great bands pass through its doors,
including B. B. King, The Dregs, The
Nighthawks, Papa John Creech, and Arlo
Guthrie, just to name a few. You still hear
talk of the memories created at P.B.'s, but
what was once a music hall and gathering
place for friends, will soon become
condominiums. The growing controversy
with the ABC Board over disproportion-
ate food to alcohol sales and the town of
Blowing Rock's complaints of noise and
litter brought the final demise to P.B.'s
and Clydes.

Bucky Carter, a senior Industrial
Arts major, said, "nightlife plummeted
when places closed down. You don't have

as much of a chance to meet people.
There are more open parties now, but
they're packed and outrageous."

As bars were closing the laws were
getting stricter in other ways. The
drinking age was raised to 19 and the
D.U.I, laws were made much more strict.
If someone blows a .10 or more on the
breathalizer test, it costs them their
license for 10 days and by refusing to take
the test drivers receive a mandatory one
year suspension of driving privileges.

Concern over these new restrictions
was shown by the administration of ASU.
The Office of Residence Life got involved
by setting up a week long Happy Appy
Hour, showing students how to entertain
and make drinks without alcohol. But to
accommodate an even broader range of
students the Social Activities Room in the
Student Union became the hub for free
entertainment and brownbagging. Al-
though the limit of six beers per person
was tightly controlled, it didn't seem to
stop the students from attending. The

capacity in the Social Activity room was
220 and some evenings crowds of 600
would wait in line. When the program was
deemed a success, a new larger facility
called H'Appy's became an even bigger
reality. SGA President, Ken Talley said,
"Other universities are following suit with
H'Appy's. They see we have a unique
set-up." The emphasis of H'Appy's is
entertainment, and not the brownbagging
of six-packs.

Spring semester saw many changes,
including a successful forum, organized
by Eastridge cluster, called "Boone on the
Rocks." Said Talley, "A lot of things
became clearer during the forum, includ-
ing the discussion of possibly holding a
referendum for beer in Boone. Hopefully
people will start seeing that it's not
students vs. the Boone citizens." Talley
commented how the town could profit
from beer in Boone. He said, "It could
lower the tax basis. Some counties put the
sales revenues into the county school
system and Boone could do the same."

The results of the different changes
this past year could be varied and
prohibition may linger, but possibly this
story will become history in a long
scenario of 'the alcohol issue'. Who
knows, one day may find students,
professors and townspeople alike stroll-
ing downtown for a sandwich and a frothy
draft in the company of friends.

SOUNDS OF MUSIC

The $7.1 million dollar Broyhill Music Center
utilizes the latest in sound technology, pro-
viding ASU with a true music showcase.

ARTICLE BY CATHY METCALF
PHOTOGRAPHY BY KAILA HIRES

"I miss the sound of music," said Mr.
Bill McCloud, Music Department Chair-
person. How can anyone miss the sound
of music in a $7.1 million dollar music
center filled with some 300 students
singing, tooting, and plucking? The
control of sound, however, is an outstand-
ing feature of ASU's new Broyhill Music
Center. McCloud explained that the
Center was designed and built so well that
he has to open practically every door to
hear the ensembles rehearse. "In I. G.
Greer I heard every note and every word
each instructor said. Although I miss the
sound of music, I now enjoy concerts more
because they are fresh and exciting."

The latest in sound technology was
used in the new Center which replaces the
outdated I. G Greer facility. Each of the
four floors is built into the ground as the
structure climbs up the hill, a design
which dampens the sound more effective-
ly than sound-proofing material between
the floors. The walls are filled with
sterilized sand, and the small, empty
rooms are strategically placed around
practice rooms to help contain sound.
Walls rest on vinyl cushions, and ceilings
are hung with rubber insulators to
eliminate the transmission of noise and
vibrations.

The 90,000 square foot building
contains more than 30 studio offices and
over 50 practice rooms. Each of the
department's 100 pianos can be used at
the same time, and no one will be

bothering anyone else. There is a
computer room for computer-assisted
learning and testing, an electronic piano
lab, instrument repair and storage rooms,
and choral, instrumental, and music
libraries. "Our new library is 20 times
larger," said Karen Hodge, a graduate
student in music. "I can remember when
the choral music was kept in the closet
of a professor's office in I. G. Greer."
Within the music library are individual
and group listening booths.

The choral and instrumental rehear-
sal halls each seat several hundred people.
Both extend upward two floors, an
accoustical design allowing a choral
director to pick out a single voice in a
group of 300 singers. The instrumental
rehearsal room has an observation deck
for audio-visual filming.

For public performances, the
Center's recital hall seats 150 and its
concert hall, 500.

Planning for the center began in
1969. Dr. William Spencer, Building
Committee Chairperson, worked diligent-
ly on this project and saw construction set
underway in 1980. Through his determin-
ation and hard work, ASU has a music
building that will be up-to-date and
appreciated for many years. The final
touches are scheduled for completion in
early 1985.

By May of this year, a $250,000 organ
should be in place behind the stage in the
concert hall. This custom-built pipe organ
from Casavant Freres of Quebec was
designed in consultation with Dr. Max
Smith, professor of organ and church
music. Mr. and Mrs. Broyhill of Lenoir
and their four children contributed the
funds for the organ and provided major
funding for the building as well.

In the past, many ASU music
graduates have enjoyed success in the
areas of the music profession: teaching,
performing, and business. If the new
music facility is any indication of the
future, ASU should see an increased
success among graduating music majors.
Marion Gmerek, a Flag Corps member,
echoes the sentiments of all who use the
Broyhill Music Center when she said,
"There's no doubt that it's a great
improvement over what we had."

EDUCATION IN CRISIS

With standards slipping and remedial

classes filled to overflowing, has our

educational system reached a crisis point?

ARTICLE BY KRISTIN KOPREN

Kids coming into college are not
prepared for college reading. That's the
opinion of Dr. Gary Moorman of ASU's
Reading Education Department. Moor-
man stated that although general reading
levels in this country have risen, a decline
has been seen in the ability to read
high-level, critical material. This creates
problems for America, because if we are
to run a highly technological society, the
basic minimum reading level is not
sufficient.

The problem emerged in the 1960's
as a growing social awareness developed.
Inequity in schooling for blacks, Hispan-
ics, and women was finally dealt with
through an attempt to raise educational
standards for these groups. Both Pre-
sidents Kennedy and Johnson established
equal educational opportunities out of a
need for "a high level of literacy,"
Moorman explained. Funding was pushed
in this direction, and "more people read
at a minimum level than ever before."

Thus, while the commitment was
made to lower level readers, the critical
reading skills suffered. Moorman citied
the decline of average SAT scores over the
past 13 to 14 years as evidence of this.
He said that the decline has "bottomed
out" at this point. He pointed out the
contradictions that appear in our educa-
tional system; general reading levels are
up, while high level reading abilities have

declined.

Another factor that has affected the
educational system is the high number of
working mothers that has come about
over the past decade. He explained that
the schooling that is provided to younger
children is basically just care with little
education. With qualified people, "Kids
learn a lot before they come to school."
ASU's Early Childhood Degree was
created as an attempt to remedy this
problem, however, "Those people don't
really have any jobs," said Moorman.

ASU has been affected by the
problems caused by this deterioration of
reading abilities. When Moorman came to
Boone four years ago, 24*^ of the
incoming freshmen placed into Develop-
mental Reading. By last year the figure
had jumped to 34^. Moorman has seen
"a noticable decline in basic reading
skills" during that period. This idea is
reinforced by the rise in the number of
students enrolled in College Reading and
Study Skills. Upon his arrival, there were
200 to 250 students enrolled in this
course. The fall semester of this year saw
330 students in the classes, while another
250 took it this spring in what Moorman
calls "a noticable increase."

College Reading and Study Skills
classes are taught by graduate students.
Speed reading and vocabulary are
emphasized, along with "college survival

skills." These include time management,
study techniques, note taking, how to read
different type texts, and test taking skills.

Moorman says that ASU is now
"more or less average," and "catching up
and becoming more like other colleges."
He says that scores everywhere are
falling, due to the fact that "kids are not
learning to read in elementary and high
school."

Joe Watts, Director of Admissions,
says, "Standards have not dropped here.
Students most qualified to do the work
here are accepted." The two criteria that
are used to judge an applicant's qualifica-
tions to perform here academically are
achievement in high school and scholastic
aptitude. Scholastic aptitude is measured
by the SAT.

Watts said the scores fluctuated, but
there was not a definite decline. He said
last year was the best in the past eight
years. The director attributes the decline
that did occur to the fact that there are
"a lot fewer students to draw from." He
added that UNC Chapel Hill may also be
dipping lower into the pool of applicants
to meet its quotas. Appalachian at one
time talked about not dropping the
standards, but the school "needs 1800 to
1900 (freshmen) to pay the bills," he said.

Watts stated the goal of admissions
is to "maintain the levels of enrollment
and qualified students that we now have.".

FUN IS WHERE YOU FIND IT

Boone provides the ASU student with a unique challenge: the search for something to do

during free hours and on weel<ends. It takes a little imagination, but the challenge can be

met without fleeing down the mountainside to more 'cosmopolitan' climes.

ARTICLE BY PAUL BAKER

Boone, it has often been said, is a
boring place to go to schooL The mass of
cars headed down the mountain every
weekend stuffed with students expecting
a wild time in Raleigh or Charlotte attests
to this fact. Admittedly, Boone is not as
glamorous as the sprawling megalopolises
for which these escapees yearn. It's not as
easy to have a good time in Boone. The
few movies which come to this altitude
are usually horrible and restaurants can
be prohibitively expensive. Even the time
honored ritual of student drunkeness has
been thwarted by the powers that be.
Boone is still dry, and Blowing Rock isn't
what it used to be. The bars and bands
are gone, and P.B. Scott's Music Hall has
been sold to make way for more
condominiums. The Blowing Rock legacy
is dead, and the weekend refugees
continue to flock down the mountain in
droves. Too bad. Boone, really, has a lot
to offer. It's just that one has to dig for
it. The most obvious entertainment
resource, the mountains themselves,
provide some of the most spectacular
scenery this side of China. A day's hike
through the woods or a highland pasture
out-strips a smoky barroom anytime.
These mountains are the backbone of this
continent, ancient and haggard, washed
by the storms of tens of thousands of
years. To walk them, to feel them solid
under foot, is to share in their mute
testimony of time. One cannot help but
feel awe among the rolling green knobs
and valleys. But the mountains can't be
enjoyed vicariously from the back seat of
a Volkswagen barrelling towards the
Piedmont or from in front of a television
set in a dorm room. Meaningful exper-
iences must be actively pursued, and in
Boone, finding them takes a lot of

creativity on the part of the seeker. -^
Perhaps the most striking feature of
Boone to the newcomer is its laid-
backness. Nothing moves very fast in
Boone except at times the wind. To adjust
to the pace takes time, but when one
finally gets adjusted everything falls into
place. The simplest things become
important. A well cooked meal, a weekly
browse through the record store, a hot
shower after a workout, even a sunny day
take on an almost religious significance'
when one slows down enough to thor-
oughly appreciate them. Anyone in Boone
fortunate enough to own a front porch
swing knows that to have fun one really
doesn't need to 'do' anything.

On the cultural side, Boone isn't as
dry as it might seem. The University
almost always has something going on
whether it be a lecture, movie, play, or
concert. Entertainment on campus is
usually inexpensive, and the quality is
outstanding. The opportunities for a
student to get involved in campus politics,
media, and the arts abound. ASU's size
and relatively small enrollment allow
social interaction with people of diverse
backgrounds and ideas. This perhaps
more than anything is the most abundant
source of entertainment. Through conver-
sations with fellow students knowledge
and ideas are digested and disseminated.
And this, for the young mind, is a most
pleasant and valuable pastime. It's cheap,
too.

No, Boone isn't as exciting as some
of the larger cities nearby. But anyone
who is bored here just isn't trying very
hard. A student's experience at ASU will
be dull indeed if he doesn't take
advantage of what is here and even more
so if he spends his weekends out of town.

THE SOUTHEASTERN

On The

HIGH COUNTRY

Road

WITH WALLY BAINE

My destination was clear, but my
assignment was ambiguous. As an aspir-
ing yet humble journalist, I was to be
sent packing from the warm confines of
my Manhatten apartment to the rugged
wilderness of America as part of a
project to assess the state of the
American university circa 1984. The
word came that I was to go on a 6
month sabbatical to Appalachian State
University in Boone, North Carolina,
enroll as a transfer student and re-
port back on my findings in the sum-
mer. At first, I was mortified. My
experience with the South was limited
and my experience with mountainous
terrain nonexistent. North Carolina
may as well have been Mars, but with
the dedication of a young reporter and
the fear of raising the ire of my
editor, I dove into the Boone exper-
ience feet first. Research on my new
alma mater and the surrounding area
yielded some intriguing facts. Boone
is the former home of the world's
largest windmill. It was funded by the
government space program, and I
thought that if those folks could
chase NASA out, of town, they might eat
me for lunch.

The road trip down on that cold
January day was uneventful, and when
I finally reached US 421 to Boone, I
half expected the road to turn to
dirt and be forced to make the last
few miles by pack mule. But, lo and
behold, I soon found myself staring
at the "Last Stop for Beverages" and
the Watauga County line.

I pulled into the mountain package
store feeling like 'John Boy' on a
trip to Charlottesville. The region,
I found out, was "dry" - which simply
meant no booze - the purchase of, that
is, not the consumption of. The near-
est "wet" town was 8 miles away, in
something called "The Blowing Rock".
But the old proprietor of the store
told me that prohibition in Watauga
County would soon be coming to an end.

"These cocaine cowboys and jet-set
skiers are buying condos up here left
and right," he said bitterly. "They'll
see it Boone gets booze. Too much
money for them fellas to ignore."

After the alcohol talk was ex-
hausted, he suggested some scenic

sites of the mountains, and I, with
map in hand, set off.

The Blue Ridge can tease you into
a Httle amateur exploring, but just
as easily, it can turn a cold shoulder
on you at the drop of a snow fall.
Schizophrenic terrain and weather to
be sure, but nevertheless, a boy scout's
heaven.

A little way up the road, I pulled
off and went for a hike. I soon found
myself stumbling through the dead
grass of a hillside like some demented
Julie Andrews in a perverse production
of "The Sound of Music". When I fi-
nally got back to my car, I was
ill. Blood ran through my body
like hot paint thinner. And by the
time I reached Boone, I began to un-
derstand why alcohol is forbidden
here. Beer and mountain climbing is a
bad marriage.

I rolled into Boone like a greased
fireball expecting to find a pocket of
cultural stagnation in the wasteland
of the rural South. Instead, I found
a curiously two-faced town. Half of
Boone resembled a convention for
gluttonous fast food maniacs, while
the other side contained a sleepy
charm with its small town facades and
lean-times student atmosphere.

This was the Boone I wanted to find.
Predictably, the police station, the
court house, and the small town news-
paper were to be found on the same
block. The ancient street-like busi-
nesses stood stoically on King Street
in silent battle with the modern con-
dos and apartment buildings springing
up here and there. The faces I saw
that day on the streets were serene
and regal, resembling big fish in a
small pond. But dotted among the bar-
ons of King Street were students in
various guises of day-to-day exis-
tence. A majority of them seemed more
unorthodox in dress and manner than
other students around the country.
They walked with a cool serenity as if
traipsing through their own far-away
back yards.

I ducked into a hip-looking deli at
the corner of King and Depot hoping to
catch Boone's creatures in their nat-
ural surroundings. I knew I had hit
paydirt as soon as I walked in. All
the hairy Boone sophisticates were
gathered there discussing the issues of
the day over a meal of tofu and herbal

On The

HIGH COUNTRY

Road

tea, and I was greeted with more of a
cosmopolitan courtesy than the how-ya-
doin'-slap-on-the-back I had expected.

I sat for awhile with a cup of
Roast-a-Rama watching the parade when
I suddenly remembered my purpose. I
had to register at school. No time to
waste, school days were at hand.

Like any good college kid worth his
salt, though, I abandoned my visit to
the administration building the minute
I found myself on campus. Procrasti-
nation is a fine art practiced by all
students, best get started on it early.

The campus of ASU was unspec-
tacular but comfortable. The late after-
noon sunlight slanting through the trees
gave it a contemplative feel but short
of the haughty atmosphere of an Ivy
League campus. I stopped by all of the
college touchstones - the library,
cafeteria, student union, bookstore
assessing the university's potential
for deviant behavior. I decided to ob-
serve the students' habits on the
commons area, Sanford Mall.

The day was cold but bright, and the ;
Mall was humming with activities. The
whole place reminded me of a finely
manicured garden with people buzzing
like bees spreading social and intel-
lectual pollen through the air. It was
a bit confusing to see new faces pour-
ing from buildings and walking through
the grounds. But still, the faces were
consistent. Ski jackets, wool sweaters,
and nylon book packs were everywhere.
For a stranger, I felt curiously at
home.

Soon the intrigue turned to boredom
and a different atmosphere to continue
my observations was needed. Something
tall and alcoholic was in order. It
was time to explore the Rock, the mecca
for ASU students.

The Rock is connected to Boone by
an 8 mile stretch of winding 4-lane. It
takes four lanes to handle the mass
exodus which occurs every afternoon and
on the weekends from Boone to Blowing
Rock. After the pleasant journey, I
happened onto a rustic little watering
hole called Woodlands. Once again, I
had hooked into the herbal tea and vi-
tamin crowd, this time hovering over
beer instead of soybeans. The place was
loud and jubilant - not a ski bib or
monogrammed sweater in sight. These
folks tended to move toward flannel

On The

HIGH COUNTRY

Road

shirts, peasant dresses, and facial
hair. I put my order in at the bar:
Martini-Tanquey, extra dry, 2 ohves.
The bartender, with enough hair to put
the health inspector in a coma, polite-
ly told me that no such animal was to
be had in Blowing Rock, but that he
could set me up with a burrito that
could change my world. I obliged, and
drank 3 beers before the food came. I
soon began to mesh with the natural,
woodsy feel of the place. Woodlands was
like a big, pillowy couch and I sank
slowly into it. The longer I stayed,
the harder it was to leave, but I had
more places to see in Blowing Rock. I
paid my bill and left.

My next stop was Mother Fletcher's,
a tight night spot. It was a little
less smokey and a little more preten-
tious, full of clean faces and new
shoes - obviously the preference of
Boone's up and coming fast set.
Mother's was awash with loud, get-down-
to-business music and video tubes. Un-
like Woodlands, this place was not for
relaxing but for the vigorous exercis-
ing of one's social life.

The crowds in both bars set up an
interesting contrast in the Boone scene
and in today's youth in general. One
group felt the need for a basic, more
natural lifestyle void of modern day
complications. Holistic health, com-
raderie, and a sublime spiritual rela-
tionship with nature were the guide-
lines for these people. The other group
was more progressive and open to
change. They felt an excitement for
future accomplishment and an awe for
technology. They played the game to win
the prize.

I realized, as I left for the jour-
ney back to Boone, that the kids I'd
meet during the semester would all in
varying degrees fall into one or the
other philosophy. I wanted to penetrate
both worlds because my mission was to
experience the total Boone/ASU happen-
ing. The beauty of it all was that
Boone and ASU had a marvelous sense of
self-containment. Maybe it was the
mountains that gave me that feel, may-
be the people.

I knew that as a journalist
I had to keep my perspective. By ob-
serving the aura of the people I'd seen
so far, I knew it would be easy to be
absorbed by this place and maybe really
fall for it.

FESTIVALS
OF THE

MOUNTAINS

From Indians to crafts, dancing to food, and music to

novels, Appalachian State promotes an awareness of our

national and regional heritage.

For the past fifteen years, local
craftsmen and musicians have been
gathering in Boone for a three-day
festival around mid-September.
Sponsored by downtown merchants,
Septemberfest is a loosely-structured
assembly of exhibits of potters,
wood-workers, dancers, doggers,
musicians, bakers, florists, artists,
shoeshiners, and possibly a I

moonshiner or two down a side i

street. I

Septemberfest is open to anyone ;
who wants to show off his skill, from'
the famous (Willard and Ora
Watson, Stanley Hicks, Ed Presnell,
maybe even Doc Watson) to the
unknown novice craftsmen. The
spirit of the festival reflects the
spirit of Boone - casual,
unstructured, and diversified.

The Appalachian region is
especially rich in crafts, with western
North Carolina leading in the
number of local artists and
craftsmen. Crafts as an industry is
an outgrowth of the time when the
mountain people had to make what
they needed or do without. They
became experts in making their own
cabins, their furniture, wagons,
utensils and tools, musical
instruments and toys, clothing and
quilts. What was once a necessity is
now a business, but the quality of
hand -made items is better than ever.

Septemberfest is only one of
many opportunities for area
craftsmen to exhibit the skills passed
down through generations.

Boone's color and spirit come to
life during the gala of
Septemberfest. Right page: on the

NIGHT OF MAKE BELIEVE

Would you believe a Jack-o-
Lantern with a crushed beer can
inside instead of the traditional
candle? Or how about a co-ed, amply
filling a Playboy Bunny outfit,
handing out beer and pretzels
instead of someone's mother passing
out Hershey chocolates? Yes,
Halloween Appalachian style is a
lot different than my Halloweens as
a junior-high kid, trudging from
house-to-house in the neighborhood.

At a big party near State Farm
Field, I saw Dracula trying to bite
a young, smooth-skinned Indian
squaw who seemed anxious for the
sun to come up. Two cavemen were
working their way through a case of
beer while three Supermen argued
about who looked the best. While
their attention was diverted, I
looked for their Lois Lanes.

No Loises, but I did see several
hookers, or were they simply co-eds
playing the part? All around were
cowboys punk rockers, a fly, and
the "too cool" few who came in the
their usual jeans and sweaters.
Several of Boone's finest arrived
in their blue uniforms and caused
no commotion, although one monster
full of Bud patted an officer on
the back and said, "Nice costume
but it's not too original."

The Antlers bar stayed busy all
night long. No one seemed concerned
about billiards or Defender. Ghouls
danced with witches and drag queens
bought beers for cowgirls. Hoodlums
and harlots danced all night long
to the beat of The Gap Band at
Mother Fletcher's.

At Tijuana Fat's, Blowing Rock's
newest night spot, a Mexican
Bandito tried to convince a beauty
queen that he was no one else but
Fat himself. She didn't seem to
buy his story that he owned the
place.

Back on campus, decorated
residence halls were the scenes of
mixers. Skeletons, witches, and
clowns hung in windows while their
live counterparts mingled, ate, and
drank in the dim lights of common
rooms.

Halloween is the chance to
pretend, no matter how old you are.
You can, for one evening, act out a
fantasy or just be silly and not
have to answer for it. A computer
science major, who as a kid dreamed
of being a fireman, now has his
chance. You can be Clint Eastwood
or Bo Derek, or even spend the
evening as a member of the opposite
sex and no one will avoid you the
next morning.

On all-Hallows Eve,
the goblins, spooks,
and bunny rabbits
came out in full
force for a night
of fun and music
at The Barn. The
dance floor came
alive to the rock
tunes of Clear
Creek, and the
menagerie of char-
acters and costumes
was beyond descrip-
tion.

TRADITIONAL MUSIC
FESTIVAL

"We want to promote awareness
of different kinds of traditional
music," said Dr. William Lightfoot,
coordinator of the Fifth annual
Appalachian Traditional Music Festival.

Dancing Feet, a musical group of
four ASU women, opened the festival
with a concert in Our House. They
played Scottish-American folk music,
swing, and Appalachian fiddle tunes.
These four, Stephanie Perrin, Deb
Thompson, Mary Green and
Elizabeth Stevens proved their
versatility on a number of traditional
instruments: fiddle, banjo, mandolin,
dulcimer, flute, and penny whistle.

Touchstone introduced ASU to
foot-stomping Irish tunes and
mournful ballads. This Chapel
Hill-based group has performed as
far away as Nova Scotia, entertaining
audiences with a combination of
Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Celtic, and
American folk music. In addition to
playing, they explained the backgrounds
and instruments of their music.

Stanley Hicks of Vilas told
jacktales and played the dulcimer.
Stanley makes Appalachian musical
instruments and this year received
the NEA Heritage Award for his
banjos and dulcimers.

A local bluegrass band capped

off the festival with some down
home bluegrass tunes that have
become as much a part of
Appalachia as the mountains. During
one of their hottest numbers, Stanley
Hicks drifted out on stage in his
boots, overalls, and white cowboy
hat, clogging and whooping it up.
His inability to keep still during
"Fox on the Run" helps explain the
wide-spread popularity of
Appalachian music.

PRESERVING A CULTURE

For the past two years, the ASU
History Department and the Native
American Association have been the
hosts for key Indian speakers. This
effort has been part of an attempt
to revitalize Indian traditions,
especially in North Carolina where
the largest Native American Indian
population exists (65,000) of any
state east of the Mississippi.

Many of the myths and stereo-
types about Indians are thrown
asunder upon viewing the people
who take care to put on such a
festival. The Native American
Indian's struggle to live in a white
man's world and hold onto treasured
traditions is a big part of what the
festival is all about.

Dr. Al Corum, who helped head
up the festival said, "There was good
attendance this year, with lively
conversation and an excellent
question and answer period. A half
dozen students became interested in
joining the Native American Indian
Association as a result of the
festival. Students are asking the
serious questions and not the typical
questions of how life is on the
reservation. They are asking what it
would be like for an Indian to go
live in Chicago and survive off the
reservation and how his work, social
and emotional status would be as a
result."

The guest speakers in the past
two years have attended various
classes to hold informative
discussions. "This face to face
dynamic, free-wheeling, and honest
exchange of ideas with the students
is where real progress and headway
is being seen. This visibility is a
step toward enlightening people to
Indian culture and the dilemmas
they face as a people," said Dr.
Corum.

The efforts of Governor Jim
Hunt, who designated the 4th week
in September as Indian Heritage
week, and the active part ASU is
playing, are commendable.

Dr. Corum, who is enthusiastic
about future festivals, said, "For two
years, we've done the festival on a
shoestring. Now we're headed in the
right direction and the right people
are involved for contacts. We hope
to have Gilbert Blue, a Catawba who
is involved in a very sticky legal
situation. This aspect would
definitely add interest to the
discussions. Ideally we would like to
have two days for the festival: one
which would hit on educational
aspects and the other which would
be more fun and would let the
students get involved in the
traditions of dancing, singing,
storytelling, crafts, contests, etc."

THE WRITTEN WORD

"Back at an age when all of us
who grew up in cities and suburbs
were still wondering about the
stork, the myth says, farm kids
were eagerly watching the ram mount
a few ewes, or sitting on the fence
cheering on the bull as he rode a
cow, or hanging around the hen house
while the rooster feathered every-
thing in sight." So read Noel Perrin
from his essay "The Birds, the Bees,
and the Cows." His lecture, "Cap-
turing the Rural Experience,"
sparkled with wit and rural reminis-
cences. Dr. Perrin, Dartmouth
English professor and occasional
farmer, had just published his third
volume of essays of his experiences
and thoughts on rural New England.

The sixth annual Festival of the
Written Word, sponsored by the
English Department, focused on the
theme "A Sense of Place." Each
lecturer is a specialist in regional,
community, or environmental writing.

John Ehle is the Appalachian
novelist of today. In his novels
he uses the Appalachian region
almost as a central character. He
read from his novel Move Over,
Mountain and shared his ideas and
techniques of setting his works in
Appalachia.

Richard Lebovitch, English

teacher at Cape Hatteras School in
Buxton, supervises the publication
of Sea Chest, something of a coastal
Foxfire. The magazine includes
stories and photographs of sailing,
fishing, boat-building, crafts, wild
horses and hurricanes of the Cape
Hatteras area.

William Bake, a writer/photog-
rapher living in Boone, has received
recognition nationally for his
photography in The American South
and Cities and Towns of the South.
He wrote and photographed The Blue
Ridge and is currently working on
a Reader's Digest publication on the
national parks.

Dr. Melissa Barth, coordinator
of the Festival, described it as an
opportunity "to give the ASU com-
munity some contact with people
who are producing literature ... it
is our equivalent to bringing in a
symphony."

student Union interns Todd
Harris and Chris Canipe
definitely enjoy their work.
Says Harris, "It's a great job,
but frustrating having to use
authority towards fellow
students."

Plemmons Student Union. Bowling
and billiards - TV, study, and activities
rooms - The Gold Room and The Sweet
Shop - information and ticket sales - the list
continues; student interns - financing their
education - experiencing and enjoying the
work world - handling hassles - accepting
rewards.

The business manager and three
supervisors of the Student Union are all
students. Supervisors Mike Moody and
Eddie Barnes smooth out the bumps, keep
the customers happy, and count money
between shifts in the bowling alley. "This
place has its ups and downs just like any
other job. I've become more of a humanitar-
ian by having to walk the line between
keeping people happy and being tough,"
says Todd Harris of his 40 hours a week and
minimum wage as a supervisor. Business
manager Chris Canipe says, "Working here
has taught me patience and a lot about
dealing with people."

THE STUDENTS' PERSPECTIVE

"All this place needs is a bar," says
Tom Yost jokingly. "The TV and billiard
rooms are excellent. The Union is a good
place to drop by between classes or watch
TV sports on weekends."

Adair Rice spends about two hours a
week in the study area, squeezing in book
work between classes. "I find it easier to
study here than in the library - this place
is quieter most of the time," she says. Many
students agree that the Union is a good
place to drop by between classes to study,
relax, and eat. That the Gold Room and
Sweet Shop are always crowded is proof of
their popularity.

How can the Union be improved?
"Sound damping, a darker atmosphere with
colored lights would make Our House more
pleasant for the performers and the
audience," suggests Blake Lambert, a
veteran performer in Our House for the
past six years. Everyone likes the idea of
the social room, but they all feel that it
should be used more often. Mark Rickell
says, "I would like to see this room open
one or two evenings a week with music and
refreshments, even if no alcohol is served."
Since the Gold Room is so popular, perhaps
it could be enlarged to relieve the long wait
at peak times.

As a center for casual student activi-
ties, the Student Union receives praise from
many students. If present trends continue,
the Union can only improve.

CULINARY VARIETY

ARTICLE BY BABETTE MUNN AND DAVID HUNTLEY

Variety abounds at ASU's Food
Services; at top left, students share
a joke at The Sweet Shop, while
below them a crowd gathers around
the 'wheel of fortune' - a Bavarian
Inn favorite. At top, Mountaineer
athletes enjoy the 'Dining Den'. At
bottom, left to right, Phyllis Eller
proudly displays her waffle making
'expertise; Nate Ross, assistant
basketball coach, enjoys a yogurt
break at the B.I.; students ponder
choices in line at the Gold Room.

"The students are like my own children
- I love working here," says Ruby Bryan of
the Gold Room, speaking for many of the
Food Service employees. On her last day of
work, Kay Perry had tears in her eyes
reflecting on her 14 years with colleagues
and the continuum of students. Betty
Woodring had already been on the job four
years when she began training Kay. Even
after 17 years and a quarter of a million
pans of bacon (50 pans a day), Harold
Hartley still enjoys his work, although he
admits, "It's easier when you have to work."
Phyllis Eller at the waffle iron enjoys seeing
the students and flipping waffles after 11
years. Jack Cobb hauls milk every day - 55
gallons a meal. A. J. Pennell cracks 1440
eggs every morning. True, we're talking
about masses of food, but sneak behind the
scenes and you'll see fresh ground beef,
beans, stewed tomatoes, chili powder,
oregano, and basil assembled in a 40-gallon
pot differing from Mom's homemade chili
only in quantity. The ASU team of butchers
cuts and trims all the meat; the bakers
provide fresh bread and sweets daily.
Wherever you dine on campus you'll find
smiles, assistance, and care.

THE CUSTOMER'S VOICE

"How do you like the food here?" I ask
Richard Adams in the cafeteria. After
thinking about my question and the food,
he admits, "Actually it's pretty good. A
little bland after awhile, but the vegetables
are good and it's better for you than
McDonalds."

Richard's comments are standard for
the cafeteria food. No one I talked to is
excited about the food, but they rate the
cafeteria as a convenient, healthy place to
eat. Marsha Parsons is realistic in her
assessment: "They have their good days and
their bad days, but they do well considering
the quantity they have to prepare." She is
pleased with the friendliness of the
employees and the interest they take in the
students.

The Gold Room appears to be every-
one's favorite place to eat on campus. "The
food is hot, the roast beef is excellent, and
the atmosphere is good," says Grant
Parsons.

The Bavarian Inn is rated good for
quick meals and evening snacks. The
change in the selection from one place to
another also helps break the monotony.

When most students actually think
about the food at ASU, they realize that
they are conveniently provided a balanced
diet. For exciting meals you go to the
Peddler or Makoto's and pay the price, but
for keeping you going during the day, the
ASU Food Services do their job well.

When it comes to service, ASU's

and roommates? Whether the problems
seem small or unsurmountable, ASU's
Counseling Center wants students to
come in and ask for help. The staff
consists of 14 counselors and
psychologists and seven graduate
students. They make every effort to
ensure that each student who comes in
is working toward a solid resolve before
terminating the counseling.

Clients are guaranteed that all
records are confidential. If you want to
come in and just have a biofeedback test
taken, or if you have deep-rooted
problems that need talking out - the
Counseling Center is there for you, the
student. In many ways, the Student
Support Building is at your aid.

"There's somebody in that car,"
said Fred Hensen, as we drove into
Stansberry Lot. Someone sitting in a
parked car at 10:30 p.m. is a little
suspicious to Fred, an A.S.U. Security
officer of two years. While we quickly
circled the lot, the car in question
backed up and headed for Rivers Street.
It never made it. With his blue light
flashing, Fred brought it to a stop. A
young man emerged, looking rather
sheepish and bewildered in the glare of
blue and white lights. There was no
accusation or arrest, but Fred did check
and record his I.D.'s and license tag
numbers. "He said he wasn't doing
anything, just sitting there with his
girlfriend," Fred said with a chuckle.
"But he knows that we know he was
here, and that deters many people who
might be tempted into some type of
vandalism."

Less than a minute later, we
spotted a car in the same lot without
an A.S.U. parking sticker. A close
inspection revealed a young man
sleeping in the front seat. He explained
that he had an appointment in the
morning with the Placement Office and
couldn't afford a motel. After checking
his LD.'s, Fred wished him "Good
night" and we drove away. "His reason
for being here seems honest, but even
if he were planning to do anything
illegal, I doubt that he'll do it now.
We'll still check this lot closely several
more times tonight."

I asked Fred how he viewed
Security's role at A.S.U. He said,
"We're here to keep A.S.U. safe and
secure, not to harass students. I try to
treat the young people here as I want
my daughters to be treated. At times
we're accused of being too lenient by
the Boone Police, but we work with the
students whenever possible."

"We receive most of our criticism
in the area of traffic control," says Roy
Tugman, Director of Security, "because
that's the most visible of our duties.
Actually, much of our energy is spent
in checking buildings and rooms at
night, providing security at sporting
events, and trying to prevent van-
dalism. We have no quota for traffic
tickets and we don't look to that as a
way of making money. However, we do
need traffic control. The first two or

three days of each semester make that
very clear."

The A.S.U. Security would like to
eliminate traffic citations by eliminating
violations. The money collected, however
does serve a useful purpose. It is used to
build and maintain parking lots and
sidewalks, and it also helps fund the
Appalcart, a free transit service for the
students. So the next time you find a little
yellow slip of paper under your windshield
wiper, don't curse Security. You have just
contributed toward a new sidewalk, and the
officer who wrote that ticket also protects
you and your property.

AID
TO THE
RESCUE

Can you believe ten million dollars in
aid to A.S.U. students for the year 1982-83?
Not all of this was just given away, however.
Much of this money was in the form of
loans ($3.6 million) and work programs of
various types ($2 million). The remainder
was in the form of grants, scholarships and
veterans benefits. The total aid for the
present year, 1983-84, will be slightly
higher. Every bit of this aid is coordinated
by the Office of Financial Aid, managed by
Steve Gabriel, Wesley Weaver, and Louise
Garrison. To help these three in their
counseling duties. Shannon Roberts has
been hired.

Many students experience the need for
money, not for spending sprees in the local
stores and at Peabody's, but for the
necessities of college life (room and board,
tuition, books, and supplies). Without a
concerned and competent Financial Aid
Department, many of us would be spending
less time in academic pursuits and more
time working to keep ourselves in food,
clothing and shelter.

Busy students keep the air waves of Boone filled with music, news, sports,
and weather from the University's own Radio Station.

Over 150 students are involved
with WASU in all phases of radio
broadcasting. In addition to the disc
jockeys and announcers, there are
many activities that go on behind the
scenes: public relations, and the
management of the business affairs.

Both the student involvement and
the scope of WASU have steadily
increased over the past six years, when
the station operated only a few hours
in the morning and at night. Now it is
in full swing 24 hours a day with
music, sports, weather, news, and
public affairs information.

The music programming is
basically progressive rock, but not
exclusively. "We're not simply a top-40

station," says Justin Phelps, Program
Director. "We've introduced variety
into a standard rock format." If rock
isn't your type of music, then, you can
enjoy one of the special shows which
feature jazz, country, or classical.

The school and community seem
to appreciate the fact that WASU
presents a variety of shows and is
community oriented. "We get good
support from the students and the
community," says Mike Gore, Statior
Manager. "Many people come by or
call with compliments, complaints, and
suggestions. We welcome that because
it keeps us in touch. Our door is
always open for anyone."

Allihe
News. . . .

At first glance The Appalachian
staff members appear to be masochists.
Why else would students who are taking
a full class load burden themselves
with a high-pressure job that demands
20 or more hours a week? Actually, they
are not masochists, but are people who
enjoy being challenged.

And The Appalachian is a challenge.
Twice a week the pages have to be
filled with news, sports, entertainment,
features, editorials, ads, and photos.
Deadlines have to be met five days a
week, and each deadline determines
whether or not others are met.

All of the work except the printing
is done on the third floor of Workman
Hall by students. Because students do
the work, and The Appalachian is a
sophisticated college newspaper, many
staff members have stepped into good
professional jobs with large daily
papers around the country.

The most visible changes for the
1983-84 Appalachian are the
entertainment page, featuring music,
movies, and plays; the syndicated
cartoon. Bloom County, from the
Washington Post Writers' Group; and the
magazine inserts. Ampersand and The
Movie Magazine. The Faculty Viewpoint
is also new, and all of these changes
are designed to make the paper more
interesting to read. Sandy Walbrol,
Editor-in-Chief, has made a special
effort to keep close tabs on ASU

organizations, knowing that people like
to read about themselves and their
friends.

The organization of The Appalachian
has been changed some this year also.
Two positions, those of Business
Manager and Advertising Manager, have
been combined into one job. This
expanded position of Business Manager is
now an internship of 40 hours a week.
Sharon Joyner, Business Manager for fall
semester 1983, found that the combined
duties actually improved communication
between the advertisers and the paper.
She coordinated the ad sales persons,
the circulation manager, the billing,
and the distribution of The Appalachian
to the advertisers. Of her long hours
on production nights, Sharon said, "I
felt a special responsibility to the
advertisers to make sure their ads
were designed and placed properly."

John Liner, a graduate student in
Industrial Education and Technology,
is the Graphic and Design Director.

As an undergraduate in the mid 70's, he
worked on The Appalachian staff, and
was compelled to return because, "It
keeps me current with what is happening
on campus. I enjoy previewing the news
before it hits the street."

Liner is responsible for the layout
and design, paste-up, assembly of copy,
headlines, and the ad design. A staff
of six do these various jobs under his
direction.

The financial rewards are not great,
so what are the joys of producing the
paper? John Liner enjoys seeing the
finished product, and knowing that he
had a part in putting it together.
Sharon Joyner finds pleasure in keeping
the finances and distribution in order.
And Sandy Walbrol says, "Meeting the
many challenges is very satisfying.
The greatest reward, though, is to see
people around the campus reading the
paper. The last minute frenzy and
frustrations become worth it when the
product is appreciated."

Beat

ARTICLES BY DAVID HUNTLEY

ASU is located in a media vacuum. If
the university were in Charlotte,
Greensboro, Raleigh or Chapel Hill,
this would not be the case, but we are
tucked away in the mountains far from
any major news media. Because of this
isolation, the Office of Pubhc
Information, or News Bureau, is
especially important. It is responsible
for informing the campus and the out-
side world of what happens here at ASU.

In the same way that a newspaper
covers a city, the News Bureau covers
the campus. The five staff members and
two student interns roam the campus,
searching for events that may be of
interest. Many people call the Bureau
with information, and the staff
encourages this. So much constantly
goes on here that seven people cannot
possibly discover everything themselves.

The Bureau distributes bulletins
around campus and also works as a
clearing house for any news and
promotion designed for off-campus use.
Tip sheets (a features-type paragraph
or two) are sent to media around the
state to spark interest in an ASU event.
Quite often the media will respond, and
soon many people will know that ASU
students devoured a gigantic submarine
sandwich to raise money for Pi Sigma
Epsilon.

Even though ASU is isolated, the
Office of Public Information keeps
North Carolina and other states
informed of what happens up here in
these mountains.

The Sports Information Bureau has
become the ASU archives for inter-
collegiate sports. The office contains
pictures and information on every
student who has been on an
intercollegiate team here at ASU. At
present there are 19 teams for Rick
Covington, Director, and his staff
of three student interns and one
secretary to keep up with.

Before each game, the office sends
out fact sheets on the ASU team and
players to the opponent and any news
agency that might possibly be covering
the event. The opponent does the same.
When the reporter from the Charlotte
Observer arrives to cover a game, he
already knows which players are
outstanding for whatever reason, he
knows what kind of season each team

has had, and he is aware of the
strengths and weaknesses of each team.
After the game, the reporter has a
wealth of information to work with to
write his story.

According to Rick, the most
important reputation for the Bureau is
one of credibility. He and his staff
rely heavily on the coaches to supply
much of the information. Rick sends out
the information in the form of fact
sheets instead of stories, because
stories tend to be less objective than
they should be.

Because athletics are one of the
most visible activities of ASU, it is
important for the Sports Information
Bureau to do an accurate job in
informing the public.

Director Rick Covington spends many Intern Mary Katey, secretary Kathy Fleer, interns Mike Seevers and Greg Putnam,
hours collecting sports news.

Memories
in the
Making

ARTICLE BY BABETTE MUNN

In the midst of spending hours
and hours, weekends, fall and spring
breaks, much of Christmas break and
many late nights for little to no pay -
we questioned ourselves a lot as to
why we were doing it.

As we wind it up and closely
assess the gains, we realize we've
learned some extremely valuable
lessons - working hard for six months
without seeing any immediate results
definitely tests the spirit of motivation.
Rather than monetary or praiseworthy
gain, we found our motiviation was
based in the passion to see the book's

fruition. It's hard to imagine that the
pages bound in this book are spread
all over Steve's living room floor right
now. Pictures yet to be cropped,
stories proofed, captions and headlines
to be written, and all those club
names for Joan (Steve's wife, who
worked for free, making almost as
much as the rest of us), to decipher
and type. The mounds of two-page
spreads are reaching into the
bathroom. Before we know it, we'll be
cropping photos in the bathtub.

We should have increased our
incomes with stock in tobacco and
coffee beans in South America; good
advice for future Rhodo-ites. My
advice though, is to drink Orange
Juice, it's healthier. We kid about our
bodies overdosing on caffeine, but in
the meantime our bodies were
screaming for fresh air and a normal
lifestyle. The heat of Workman Hall
almost drove us out, but we quickly

learned how to adjust the window
levels. But through the heat and
storms of deadlines, the long hours of
frustrations, work, and joy are finally
coming to an end.

So as the lights dim out on the
third floor of Workman Hall, most of
the crew and staff would attribute the
book's success to Steve Boyd, our
Editor, for motivating the crew when
the work seemed unsurmountable.

Speaking for the staff, I think all
of us went through the nightmare
phases of pages being dumped on us -
but now with the light at the end, the
anticipation grows of seeing the work
bound forever, NO MORE
CORRECTIONS!!!

As you flip through these pages,
we hope some of the vision of a
unique and trend-setting book will
play a part in your enjoyment as well.
I met some very interesting people
through my interviews and made a lot

of new friends. The staff here has
grown into a unit - a team working
selflessly - helping each other and
always meeting the odds like greeting
a fresh cup of coffee in the morning.

We've created a lot of memories,
and most of them are bound up in the
stories, pictures, and times spent
writing, re-writing, re-shooting,
developing film, printing, cropping, and
typing stories over and over to create
a book of memories for you. If the
book seems heavier, you're right. We've
added twice as many pictures and
stories, and twice as much color over
last year's book . . . It's the ink, I tell
you it adds up.

So from a smoke filled room, Joni
Mitchell serenading us, Paul zoning
out, Steve tired of yearbooks, Joan
tired of deciphering names from
chicken scratches, Gil tired of playing
crop-a-matic, and myself just plain
burned out - we hope you enjoy it.

Cluster Families

ARTICLE BY BABETTE MUNN

The crates are packed, favorite
posters rolled, memorabilia bound and
ready for transportation to a new home.
Anticipation mounts, especially before
greeting an unknown roommate.

The anxiety of making the dorm
room a new home may stem from the lack
of familiar, secure surroundings. The
transition from a rambling house with
kitchen, den, and bedrooms to a one room
living cubicle is painful. When will the

agony cease? For many it is short lived,
and meeting a new roommate is like
seeing an old friend. For others the desire
burns for this stranger to find different
lodgings very, very far away, and soon.
As humans our need to call a place
home forces us to make the best of our
new situation. And to help, the Office of
Residence Life makes it their business to
ensure a home-community atmosphere in
the dorms.

Liz Fink, Resident Director of Belk
Hall and Area Coordinator for the
Stadium Heights Cluster said, "Students
do better when safe and secure. They feel
a part of a community and a hall. I've
found that more often the students enjoy
people they live with and feel good about
where they live."

Within the past three years, Re-
sidence Life has begun to group dor-
matories together in Clusters. Fink said

he concept "was developed to facilitate
I sense of identity and create a
:ommunity atmosphere."

Each Cluster is supervised by an
\.rea Coordinator. They are chosen from
imong the Resident Directors of their
];iuster. The Stadium Heights Cluster run
jy Fink includes Belk, Bowie, Eggers and
A'inkler Residence Halls. Judy Vantrease
icts as Area Coordinator for the East-
lidge Cluster made up of Cannon,
Doughton, Hoey, and White Dorms. The
^innacle Cluster is comprised of a larger
irea including Coffey Hall, an honors
acility; Cone, a freshman hall; East, a
iving-learning environment; Lovill Hall;
md the Mountaineer Apartment complex
or upperclassmen. Yosef Hollow contains

Gardner, Justice, Coltrain, and Newland
Halls. In charge is Janet Diaz, Resident
Director of Gardner.

In order for the Clusters to work
efficiently. Resident Advisors need to
have a teamwork attitude. This past
summer 32 R.A.'s took a canoeing trip to
help the staff get to know one another.
Rock climbing and high ropes at
Broadstone and a summer camp operated
by ASU were also events aimed at staff
development.

So what does all the work and
planning by the R.A.'s and R.D.'s result
in? A big event for Stadium Heights was
a watermelon and shaving cream fight.
Eastridge had a pig-picking over the
Labor Day weekend and were known far

and wide for their video movie ex-
travaganzas. Yosef Hollow decked out the
Holiday Inn last fall for an Hawaiian
luau. They also sponsored study work-
shops. Free hotdogs went to all who lived
in Justice Hall - compliments of the
football team to say thanks for putting up
with them.

All in all Residence Life makes the
transition from home to cubicle a little
easier. They do their job with care,
creativity, and an undying zeal. So when
the crates and boxes are finally moved out
of the residence hall, not only will they
be filled with posters and clothes, but also
memories of the long study nights and fun
on the halls.

Living And Learning

ARTICLE BY BABETTE MUNN

One quickly learns that ASU's
Residence Life is what creates homes out
of dorms and allows for a living/learning
situation to create a framework in which
strangers become friends.

The memories of living in Residence
halls must be strong when seniors plan for
a reunion with their former freshman
hallmates. Such is the case with Allison
McNeeley and Michelle Wilkins, who are
appropriately titling their event the '1st
annual 7th-heaven Cannon convent

reunion.' McNeeley says, "as a freshman
you don't know anyone, and you're eager
to find out who is next door - you have
more spirit to make new friends."

Cannon was then A-Option, and no
guys were allowed; but did that stop
them? "We knew we couldn't have guys
up, so we would sneak them in out of
spite," said McNeeley. She commented
how in Coltrane, which is C-Option and
had nothing going on, the girls were calm
in contrast to the wild 'nuns' of Cannon.

For the reunion they plan to collect
pictures for a scrapbook, and have a big
Christmas party.

The committment on the part of
Residence Life instills a sense of place for
residents in halls. R.A.'s not only enter
with new ideas, but they go through
training and are required to attend an
R.A. class their first year.

A.S.U. is unique in its' role with
students living on campus. Residence Life
was instigated in 1980, with the philo-

niTfl^r^ alternative
'"ethods Of locomotion.

(Dphy of making a students' living
ituation more than inhabiting a small
pace. Programs were started and an all
ut attempt made to insure that students
eeds were met and that R.A.'s and R.D.'s
I'ere resource persons, helpers, and
■lends; rather than house parents.

Two dedicated figures that stand out
1 starting Residence Life are Bob
bunnigan and Rick Geis. Acting as
irector and assistant director of Re-
idence Life, respectively, they strive to
onstantly interact with the students. "If
student can't come directly to us with
problem, then something's wrong," says
ieis.
i Liz Fink, Residence Life coordinator

for Stadium Heights, says R.A.'s need
someone to turn to as well. There are
times when they burn out and need
support and encouragement. Residence
Life responds to this need and even has
a support group from the counseling
center to aid in these situations. "The
R.A.'s have high expectations for them-
selves, but they can't be the end all for
all the students," says Fink. The R.A.'s
have a great deal of paperwork, required
time spent on the halls and disciplinary
concerns. Their attitude toward referrals
is more for the educational aspects of the
referral process than playing police force.
Pam Whisnant, a junior in political
science, loves her job as R.A. "It's helped

me gain more self-confidence, especially
when holding floor meetings." R.A.'s
never know what to expect in their
multi-purpose jobs. "I had to get a bird
out of a room one morning at 4 am," said
Whisnant. The good and bad come with
the job. Having to refer people is not their
prefered task. When people on the hall
get together to do something for an R.A.,
it smoothes out the rough edges, as
Whisnant's' girls proved by presenting
her with a unique, if embarrassing
birthday present as a token of their
respect and friendship - a male strip
show.

Off-Campus Experiences

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL BAKER

When a student enters A.S.U. as
a Freshman, he encounters a barrage
of important decisions. What to
study, what social activities to engage
in, even what clothes to wear present
dilemmas that demand his scrupulous
attention. Luckily freshman are not
faced with the question of whether to
live off-campus or not; all freshman
are required to live in dormitories.
With this determined the student is
free to ponder the more crucial
aspects of college life.

The rule relegating freshman to
dorms is, in most cases, beneficial to
the student. Susan Cole of Residence
Life says the dorm experience is
essentially educational. It teaches
students to live with other people, to
respect them, and to interact with

them on a social basis. Lasting
friendships are formed in dorms, and
it is hoped that the experience builds
healthy, well-adjusted college
students. But talk to any dorm-bound
freshman, and after a year he is ready
to get the hell out and set up in his
own apartment off-campus.

Such outspoken willingness to
leave the camaraderie and security of
dorm life in no way reflects negatively
upon A.S.U.'s on-campus living con-
ditions. Instead it gives witness to the
students' growing maturity and
readiness to deal with the ever
encroaching responsibilities of the
"real world." But alas for those who
may wish to remain on-campus, the
limited accomodations of 4,200 beds
sometimes forces them to venture

forth on their own, and the transition,
even for the willing, is often difficult.
At any given moment approxima-
tely 5,800 A.S.U. students - over half
the school's population - live off
campus. Whether they live in houses,
apartments, trailers or boarding
houses each faces similar problems
finding, renting, and remaining in an
off-campus dwelling. To aid the
off-campus student, the Office of
Residence Life provides several
helpful services. Among these are the
apartment-for-rent and roommates
wanted listings. Each list is frequent-
ly updated and gives current informa-
tion on available housing and possible
leads to roommates. In conjunction
with Student Legal Services, Re-
sidence Life offers The Tenant-

Landlord Book, a handy guide full of
pertinent information about tenants'
rights.

Even with these useful tools,
however, the apartment hunter un-
dertakes a grueling task. The housing
outlook in Boone has traditionally
been bleak. Students confronted with
the necessity of living close to campus
are dismayed with the cost and
scarcity of adequate housing. The
atmosphere here is typical of a college
town. Students are placed in a
situation where demand exceeds
supply. Consequently, living space is
at a premium and landlords are free
to exact exorbitant rents from
students. According to Residence
Life, 60"^ of all rental units in Boone
are owned by a mere 10% of the total
landlords - figures approaching a
virtual monopoly. Nita Gregory, a
junior in Communication Arts, feels
,that "landlords know students have
to have a place to live, so they charge
whatever they want." With students

scrambling for living space some
landlords have even been known to let
sub-standard units. However, the
situation seems to be brightening.
Boone is experiencing a tremendous
growth in apartment construction.
The availability of housing is increas-
ing and hopefully, says Susan Cole,
rents will begin to fall. She also said
that landlords will be encouraged to
keep their properties in better repair.

The lure of off-campus living is
irresistable to most A.S.U. students.
Youth's unflagging resiliency and the
excitement of having one's own place
overcomes the obstacles of high rent
and less than luxurious housing.
"Sure, students renting for the first
time are gullible. They get ripped off
usually," states Wally Baine, a junior
from Raleigh. "They go out and rent
a dump, but its their dump and that
makes all the difference."

With the signing of the first lease
the student ascends into the bitter-
sweet world of responsibility. Depo-

sits and rent must be paid; bills for
electricity, oil and the telephone
always seem to be due. Dishes must
be washed, so does the toilet. And it
can get damn cold in an apartment at
times. But that's only part of it.

An apartment affords the
student opportunity to develop in a
way he can't in a cramped dorm room.
It becomes an extension of the
student's personality. "There's room
to stretch out and put more of your
own belongings around," says Jean-
Marie Reinoso, a senior. The freedom
of off-campus living allows the
student to get away from school, to
party undisturbed into the wee hours,
or just to hide for awhile. But even
with all the inherent hassles of living
in one, an apartment gives the
student a feeling of belonging and
individuality. "When you go back to
a dorm, you just go to your room,"
says Baine, "but when you go back to
your apartment, you go Home."

ROCK W ROLL:
Making A
Comeback At ASU

Beginning with small concerts and
working their way up, SGA and
Complementary Education attempt
to fill the P. B. Scott's void.

Live entertainment underwent major
transformations during the fall of 198.S at
ASU. Attempts to alter the traditional
methods of organizing concerts were
successful due primarily to thoughtful
planning on the part of the SCA and the
Administration. These changes included
an unprecedented numher of small
concerts, the opening of the Student
Activities Room to live bands and
brown-bagging, and finally, the use of an
outside promoter to put on the
Homecoming show.

This fall ASU enjoyed its main
Homecoming show on the Tuesday night
before the game. Cheap Trick blasted
students with some old favorites and new
tunes from their then current album Next
Position Please. The Klvis Brothers
opened the show in Broome-Kirk (lym.
The concert was unique in that it was the
first time an independent promoter took
the risk for an ASU Homecoming
Concert. The Homecoming festivities also
included a show by Sugar Creek on the
PViday night before the game.

A new small concerts policy instigat-
ed this year enabled students to see many
more bands than in previous years. Mike
Cross and Brice Street, perennial favor-

ites at ASU, appeared during the fall
semester. The spring semester saw the
booking of the pop-funk band Piranha.
The shows all seem to have been
successful, and students appreciated the
efforts spent in presenting several
top-name acts.

Regular use of the Social Activity
Room in the Student Union began in
early November. The Room provided a
place for students to go and listen to live
entertainment at no charge. Brown-
bagging was also allowed: a limit of 6
beers per person.

A variety of bands appeared at the
Social Activity Room. The Room gave
ASU's student bands a place to play. Two
bands composed of students; 3 Hits and
The Opposition, played there in late
December.

3 Hits put on an enjoyable "Last
Show" at the Room before moving to
Raleigh. Lead singer Sheila Valentine's
exceptional stage presence was com-
plemented by that of lead guitarist Mike
Klutz and drummer Jim Biddell. The
band played a mixture of original music
and cover tunes by such bands as U2 and
The Pretenders.

The Opposition showed more depth

than a simple party band when they
played the Room. Their show was a
unique blend of original songs and songs
of other classic rockers. There was a good
show on the dance floor as well as on the
stage. Slam dancing took the Social
Activities Room employees by surprise at
first. Bassist Bill Kenney said, "We have
fun playing and it makes us happy to see
people having fun watching us."

In addition to Kenney, the band
consisted of rhythm guitarist Dave
Hubner, guitarist Andy Vervill, vocalist
Todd Wilkerson, and drummer Chris
Mize. Dave Hubner remarked, "We're
glad we played there because it gave
people an opportunity to hear and dance
to music that is not heard on the radio

Several "road bands" put on shows
at the Room. Threshold, a 7-member Top
40 band, was asked to play a second show
because of their familiar, danceable
sound. Clockwork played at the Room on
two different occasions, too. They played
Top 40 rock, as well as some funk and a
few original tunes. At the time, they had
an album out entitled "A Cry for Love".
Monk and the Maniacs thrilled many
students when they played the Room.

They combined music and a constant
comedy routine with colorful changes in
costume. Each routine was linked to the
central theme of a song. Their impersona-
tions were often quite humorous, al-
though they tended to be a little risque
at times. Other bands, including The
Hollywood Brats, Tuff Breaks, Vixen,
Sneaky, and Kidz performed at the Social
Activities Room during the year.

The Administration's decision to
open the Student Activities Room to Live
Rock 'n Roll and beer drinking came at
an opportune time. Tough, new penalties
for DWI and the systematic purging of
Blowing Rock's night spots left few places
for students to vent their alcohol-fired
Rock 'n Roll steam. The Room provided
students with a great opportunity to go
out, see live bands, drink, dance, and
socialize without having to run the 321
gauntlet from Blowing Rock back to
Boone after a show, drunk, and in bad
weather. On-campus entertainment
proved to be cheaper, more convenient,
and just as good as anywhere else. And
it may have even saved a few lives.

MIKE CROSS:
North Carolina's
Premier Entertainer

"I intend to keep performing until
my first coronary, and after that it
depends on the muscles that are
still working."

ARTICLE BY WILLIAM MORGAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE HOBBS

Farthing Auditorium was in a frenzy
Friday night, the ninth of September
when Mike Cross - the witty and
entertaining singer, songwriter, and
storyteller took to the stage. For two
hours he brought the crowd to its' feet
with foot-stomping Irish fiddle tunes; had
them laughing aloud with his funny songs
and tales; and brought them down again
with his slow ballads of life and love.

A few hours before the show I had
the opportunity to talk at length with
Mike, and he began our conversation by
telling me how he got his start in music:
"when I entered UNC, my idea of folk
music was singing 'Koom Ba Ya" at
summer camp", he admitted. That soon
changed as Mike learned to play several
acoustic instruments including guitar,
fiddle, and mandolin. He dropped a few
instruments at this time also, and he
stated, "I used to play harmonica but
when I'd catch a cold it would last for 6
months because of all the germs in the
harmonica!" Reminiscing about his first
job, Mike said, "I started out at a place
called 'The Endangered Species Tavern'
in Chapel Hill. To make any money we

lad to pass the hat. I have always felt a
Dersonal bond to the audience as a result
)f those days at The Endangered Species.
kVhen the atmosphere is just right and
['m really communicating with the
ludience, it seems like the whole room
Decomes something above human.

Mike quit law school to pursue his
mtertainment career. He explained, "I
sat down one night and asked myself a
luestion - if I knew I was going to die in
'ive years from cancer, How would I
;pend my time? The answer was not to
jractice law, so here I am. I feel there are
;o many aspects of the universe, anything
^ou put energy and heart into is
vorthwhile." When asked how long he
jlanned to continue performing he
okingly replied, "I intend to keep
jerforming until my first coronary and
ifter that it depends on the remaining
nuscles that work!"

Life on the road isn't easy for Mike
vho confessed he doesn't like to travel,
ie is on the road from 220 to 240 days
)er year. "You feel like a stranger in a
iea of humanity", he said. "Having a
;ompanion on the road, my wife, makes

it a lot easier." In explaining why he
prefers to perform and travel without a
band, he said, "Some people are good
team players and some are good solitary
players. Sometimes when I'm traveling
alone at night a song will just come to me.
It's like someone else wrote it and asked
me to write it down."

Mike especially enjoys playing shows
,in North Carolina. "From a club in New
York to Saudi Arabia the response is
always positive, but I like playing in
North Carolina because it's home", he
said. His song 'Carolina Skies' is
testimony to that statement - "There's
nothing like the feeling, knowing that I'm
seeing those Appalachian Mountains
beneath the Carolina Skies."

Mike says he doesn't "entertain to
impress", but rather he "entertains to
communicate". He does this by offering
something for everyone no matter what
their musical taste. He summed it up well
when I asked him to describe Mike Cross
in one sentence. Looking up at the ceiling,
he scratched his head and replied, "a
figment of our collective iihaginations".

CHEAP TRICK:

Rocking

Varsity Gymnasium

The musicians burst with energy. Their
guitarist throws guitar picks and
albums into the crowd - later he even
throws his own jacket. At one point
he brings out a multi-necked guitar
shaped like a human body, and says to
the crowd, "I want you all to meet my
new son."

ARTICLE BY P. L. VAN-GILDER

Cheap Trick, an internationally
known pop band, rocked ASU this year
as part of its pre-Homecoming weekend
warm up. The official view holds that the
?oncert was a success - seating capacity
in the 5700-seat Varsity Gymnasium was
well over fifty percent. Gross receipts
indicate that the Student Government
Association "broke even"; a fiscal
achievement due in part to an inter-
mediary promoter, Starship Enterprises.
This short "essay" is actually a condensed
and slightly-Anglicized version of several
interviews with Jay, a foreign exchange
student currently studying in Boone.
These comments are his impressions of
rock-concert mania a la America:

"I am unfamiliar with auditoriums
:he size of Varsity Gymnasium - I've been
in a stadium or two but nothing really
large and enclosed, except perhaps a
church or train station. And I have never
seen a real rock concert before. Some of
lis have radios and disc-players; but
definitely not a stereo system like my
sponsor's son Tom has. You have music
in the supermarket, doctor's office, in cars

and on airplanes: there's always a song
even on television, if you listen to the
background. These things we do not have
as much in my country. My friends and
I dream of owning a "Walk-man".

"We arrive early Tuesday night to get
good seats for the Cheap Trick concert.
For days now I have listened to "One on
One", their popular album, and talk at
school has built up the excitement. Tom
and I have seats on the bottom level.
Metal and plastic chairs line the ground
floor in long rows. They have pulled out
the bleachers. Above us, a tangle of
lighting equipment is being tested and
fixed. In front of us is the stage, stacked
with huge black boxes that Tom tells me
are the "speaker cabinets". He points out
microphones, monitors, guitar stands, and
the set of drums smothered in cymbals.
The crowd has filled most of the room
now with loud talking and a great deal of
smoke. Like a pub, except we are still in
our coats.

"The Elvis Brothers take the stage -
the "warm-up band". I tell Tom that the
lead singer looks like Daryl Hall of Hall

and Oates; he assures me that this is most
certainly not the same man. They play
fast music - rock and roll, kind of like the
Stray Cats. Their drummer hurls a
drumstick into the air - meanwhile
playing - and catches the falling stick
behind his back. A magnificent show!

"Soon the band leaves and the lights
then go entirely out. Men walk on the
stage in darkness - how can they see
where they are going? A man's voice
comes over the speaker, then Wham! The
lights are flashed on and the music of
Cheap Trick leaps into our bodies. Never
have I heard such loud noise, but soon I
am accustomed to the music as the band
plays favorites like "Dream Police",
"Surrender", and "She's Tight". The
musicians burst with energy.

"All in all, the experience was even
better than I imagined it would be. At the
end of Cheap Trick's performance a good
many lighters were flicked on, and our
chants and hopes for an encore were
rewarded. I could not applaud hard
enough for my first American rock
concert experience."

PERFORMANCE

The world of the stage came alive at ASU in 1983-84.

PERFORMANCE - Madrigal & 12 Days

ARTICLES BY BABETTE MUNN

The ticket lines for Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste rivaled that of

concerts such as Sinatra in Italy and the Police in Cireenshoro. 720 available
seats were immediately sold out this past December, when people from as
far away as Chicagt), Florida, and Virf^inia joined native Roone residents
in the 7th annual gala event.

The traditional Yuletide Madrigal Feaste was inaugurated in 1184,
when the Royal Family in England first gathered together at Windsor
Castle to throw a big bash. Ye Olde Madrigal Feaste has been recreated
by ASU for 7 years, and the production goes hack to 1584, when Queen
Elizabeth I, Captain Walter Raleigh, and William Byrd, enjoyed a lavish
6-course meal of Wassail, Barleys Soupe, gene tudor sallade withe sauce,
rost beefe with yorkshire puddying, candied sweete yams, and frutes, which
always left the guests satiated.

Under the direction of Noel Lovelace, the ASH Chamber Singers
reenact the feaste each year. "It took a long time to research for authenticity
- in music, costumes, etc.," said Lovelace. He found it a challenge to make
the event, "interesting and-fun-not dull." Lovelace said he plowed through
stacks of music to find compositions that were written before 1584.

The Chamber Singers diligently work all fall semester towards the
production and receive one hours credit. The character of Queen Elizabeth
I was played by Cindy Stonesifer, Walter Raleigh by Jim Taylor, and
William Byrd by Noel Lovelace. Lovelace said the students really put their
heart and energy into the performances, and the gregarious Chamber
Singers interact with the guests in search of etiquette violations. The
Madrigal dinner etiquette is rather strict; "Gueysts myst never leave bones
on the table, allways hyde them under the chayres, gueysts myst not wype
theyre greezy fingers on theyre heardes, and gueysts should never pyck
theyre teethe at the table with a knyfe, strawe or stycke." The need to
adhere to 16th century etiquette allows the guests to become fully involved
in the night's fanfare. Court jesters, pages and wenches, the Boar's head
platter, flaming pudding and an ensemble of instrumentalists are reasons
enough to understand why it's become a successful tradition around Boone.
Guests of the feasts are treated to the poignant and touching moment of
Sir Walter Raleigh's knighting ceremony. Original Elizabethan dance and
traditional Christmas carols keep the guests fully entertained as well.

The turnover of students from year to year makes the task of costuming
into quite a monumental job for Marion Lovelace. "It's like a treadmill,"
said Noel Lovelace. "Every year is different; from modifications in script,
music arrangements, costume design and fitting (to adapt more and more
to the Elizabethan period), set construction and new acts."

The performance in 1984 will coincide with the 400th anniversity of
Sir Walter Raleigh's voyage to Roanoke Island in his effort to establish
the first English settlement in North America.

So, if you plan to attend next year's festivities, be prepared for an
evening full of food and entertainment, and remember your etiquette.
"Gueysts myst have nayles clean or they will dysgust theyre table
companions.

performers from local churches, choirs, bell choirs, faculty members and ASU
students. Mr. Richard Hudson, director of conferences, is responsible for
coordinating the programs and drawing in the performers. They hope to expand
next year and call it "Days of Christmas."

ment. He is a profes-
sor of music and

technology, wood-
winds and bassoon.

Ars. Buchanan and Andy Booze keep the audience entertained.

Mrs. Susie Buchanan and student Andrew Booze

entertained the lunch crowd at The University Center for part of the
Twelve Days of Christmas celebration. Mrs. Buchanan has played the
piano for years, but states she never really mixed her music with an
occupation. "I do it for the fun of it, and would never want to be
stuck in the drudgery of having to make someone play in lessons day
in and day out." She has lived a fruitful life, as her training goes
back to the state's Appalachian Normal School in 1932, followed by
a B.S. degree in education in 1938. In '52 she went for her masters,
minoring in music. She sees herself as a natural musician, and said
her "mind naturally transposes." She's been an elementary school
teacher, and a librarian for the Parkway Elementary School.

Andy Booze, from King, N.C., is a senior Music Education major
at ASU. He plans to attend graduate school and would eventually
like to teach. He's always wanted to play drums, and got his chance
to play in the band in 6th grade. He said that the hardest thing about
Music Education is, "You have to learn how to play all the
instruments."

The luncheon program was definitely enhanced by their lively
versions of traditional Christmas carols.

First of all, theater majors are not weird, strange, or

wacky. Insane - yes, hut weird? Never. They aren't weirri lor the
same reasons that Jesse Helms supporters, ehild molesters, and
Wayne Newton lovers are. Theater majors are a i)art ol a much
larger group collectively known as Theater People. Theater I'eople
may he theater majors, minors, those with an interest in theater,
or anyone who hangs around ('hai)ell Wilson Hall, the home of
ASU's University Theatre and the weirdos.

Okay, so maybe theater people are somewhat weird, hut it's
a good, healthy weirdness, a natural reaction to the dedication, hard
work, and creativity that is inherent lo (he theater. A theater person
is a slave to his art; and il they seem more hizarre than the other
strange people on campus, like I'.sychology or Business majors, it
is more from heing cooped up in Chapell Wilson working all day
and half the night than from anything else. They spend long hours
working on shows in production for heller than half of each
semester, and it is demanding work. Directors, actors, props people,
and lighting techs all face a lot of |)ressure when prei)aring for a
show. Being semi-psychotic ;;eems to hel|) in dealing with the
pressures. Just hefore a show opens, ('ha|)ell Wilson is in turmoil:
actors scurrying around trying to remember lines and gel into
character; techies working to make sure the production is going lo
run smoothly with the sets, jjrops, sound tapes, and costumes in
order; and the good old director running around driving the loonies
even crazier. Yes, Chapell Wilson is a madhouse most of the time,
but the madness pays off handsomely and that is (juite satisfying.

Theater is like some kind of blood disease that infects a person
and makes him feel like something is wrong if he's not working
on a show. Working at the University Theatre in some capacity,
be it on or behind stage, gives the theater person a taste of what
real theater life is all about. It is demanding work that makes any
potential theater person stop and ask himself: "Do I have what it
takes to do theater professionally? Do I have the stamina to make
theater my life's work?" Kvery serious theater person is faced with
these insecurities, and forced to answer these questions truthfully,
but doing so usually leads to a fierce dedication to the craft that
is rivaled by few other professions.

If anyone was to walk up to a dedicated theater |)erson and
tell him or her that they were weird, he or she would more than
likely accept the compliment with the grace, charm, and dignity
that all theater people possess, and then, thank the would-be
offender, because telling a theater person he or she is weird would
be to say that they are in touch with their imagination - isn't
"weird" a pessimistic synonym for "imagination" anyway? A
healthy imagination is the key, the best tool a theater person has.
If being more in touch with the imagination to better one's craft
produces the side effects of deranged personality, then so be it.
Being weird is more fun anyway.

PERFORMANCE • Dance Ensemble

ARTICLE BY CHARLES UZZELL

PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE SPARKS

Imagine Wendy Fletcher and a class of students exercising,
"Okay folks. One more thing." Fletcher demonstrates while the
class watches; some participate in her example. She guides them,
saying, "Other side," breathlessly, "and two, and three ..."
musically, with perfect rhythm. "Straighten up over there . . . Yes!
And two . . . keep going. Prances now." The hours of practice seem
to go on forever.

This "class" took place before the 1984 ASU Dance Ensemble
performance, while the audience was arriving. A thirty minute
warm-up has become a tradition before their yearly performance.

Fletcher methodically leads, as bodies change to her rhythm.
The "class" forms a semicircle centerstage. A loving teacher talks
to eager, yet tired students. Music fades in. The lights are down
and stretches are occuring in the semicircle. The music gets louder.
"Class" ends, the lights go out, and the performance begins.

I. The Gale. Spontaneous regenerations of life and gymnastics
turned to spectacular dance.

n. Fields and Forces. Pink and light purple gowns flow to
the lovely piano of George Winston. This is a very graceful piece.
Joyful.

III. He's a Dream. This is Fletcher's creation. The music is
appropriate, if one can say it that way. This is an excellent jazz
number. More pure energy here; the piece is well choreographed.
Blending fast rhythm and smooth, quick technique to create the
high energy of that moment when love is at its peak.

IV. RoUercoaster. Marianne Adams choreographed and
designed the costumes for this dance. It begins with a pleasant,
quiet introduction. The voice of Joni Mitchell begins and the
dancers respond. Yes! Exhilaration. We're coaster "cruisin" now.
Men dancing, however briefly together, almost seems an odd
interaction. Rarely does our culture allow men to simply have fun.
This dance is particularly suitable for our new auditorium, Broyhill
Music Center. This part even has sculpture! RoUercoaster tracks
appear onstage with stunning clarity, as the dance "coasts" to an
end.

V. Variations. It has a classical feeling that most of us equate
with a really excellent childhood.

VI. Parlour Games. The last piece to be performed by the
Ensemble on February 15th and 16th was choreographed by
Fletcher. It featuredeDr. Max Smith on the Harpsichord. When a
story like "Parlour Games" is danced, it becomes far superior to
acting.

Afterwards, Fletcher commented, "An incredible amount of
work goes into a performance like this. The dance students that
are chosen to participate gain a lot of technical knowledge and it
is an enjoyable^earning experience."

The ASU Dance Ensemble seems spontaneous, yet controlled.
It's a warm and generous sampling of the talent here. I hope you
had the good fortune to see it.

The 1983-1984 Perform-
ing Arts Series began with
the North Carolina Shake-
speare Festival's production
of Othello. A full house was
treated to the intrigue and
deceit of the 300 year old
classic. Milledge Mosley
played Othello; Mary
Hopeman, Desdemona, and
Eric Zwemer played the
treacherous lago with memor-
able aplomb.

To herald in the Christmas

season a musical rendition of
Dickens' A Christmas Carol was

presented on December 8 in Farth-
ing Auditorium. The profession-
alism of the Bill Fegan company
was evident in the show's delightful
versions of traditional English
Christmas carols. "The characters
(were) larger than life could ever be.
The sets and costumes were faith-
fully drawn from reality then
fancifully carried far past reality,"
wrote Charles Jones who adapted
the novelette for the stage. Indeed,
the plight of Tiny Tim and the
spirited singing melted many a
Scrooge's heart that night.

A jealous Othello kills his faithful wife.

The cunning lago looks on as Othello beats an innocei
Desdemona.

The music and charm of Dickens' A Christmas Carol thrilled kids of all ages in December at Farthing. ■

Celebrating its 46th sea-
son, the New Orleans
Symphony Orchestra ap-
peared at ASU in March. The
Symphony, which has toured
extensively throughout the
South and Southwest and the
first American orchestra to
tour South America, was
conducted by Philippe En-
tremont. He feels his con-
ducting is enhanced by his
mastery of the piano. En-
tremont, a Frenchman, is
attracted appropriately

enough to the French reper-
toire, and his concerts are
often dominated by the work
of French composers.

"The Holder Dance Company reflects North

Carolina at its very best ... In fact, Holder is now
the major professional dance company in the
southeastern United States." These words of praise
come from Governor Jim Hunt as the Frank Holder
Dance Company celebrates its Tenth Anniversary
Season.

On November 10, 1983, the Holder Company
presented an evening of dance in Farthing
Auditorium. The sets, costumes, lighting, and
choreography were all by Frank Holder himself, the
founder of the Company.

Holder began his college education as a botany
major in 1967, but he redirected his energies after
taking a course in Modern Dance his sophomore year.
In 1971 he came to UNC-Greensboro and received an
MFA in Dance a year later. Why Greensboro? As
Holder explains, "I didn't want to move to New York
City and become another unemployed dancer. I really
wanted to dance and choreograph, and an academic
setting seemed logical." To follow up on his wishes,
he formed the Frank Holder Dance Company in 1973.

Beginning with performance in the North
Carolina public school system, the Company pleased
critics ("Yes - Professionalism from Out of Town!")
at its New York debut in 1981.

At this time the Company is composed of seven
dancers. Although they come from \-arious back-
grounds - Cuba, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Florida
- Their expertise and love of dance form a harmonious
group. Working in harmony with other people comes
naturally for Cuban Julio Sotolongo, who says "I
dream of a world in which Man is in harmony with
himself and with the planet earth so that we may
achieve our rightful heritage as citizens of the
universal community."

The members of the Frank Holder Dance
Company have diverse interests as hobbies - from
music to acting to sky diving - but the real passion
in their lives is dance. All had performed with other
dance companies before joining Holder, and they all
find their present work most rewarding. Six years ago
Louis Hrabovsky resigned from teaching to become
the Executive Director of the Company. He says of
that decision, "I have not been disappointed, because
the Company has made a significant impact on
modern dance in North Carolina and throughout the
Southeast."

PERFORMANCE ■ Artist Series

ARTICLES BY PAUL BAKER

Ending the 1983-1984 Performing Arts Series on
April 3rd was the Chinese Magic Circus of Taiwan.
And what an appropriate finale for any series of
cultural and artistic performances! The troupe's
exotic display of acrobatics, magic, and dancing
brought to the Farthing stage feats of wonder not
often seen in the Western world.

The 18 member, two family company, is the
successor of a rich and ancient heritage. For over
2000 years pai hsi, "the hundred acts", has been an
integral art of Chinese folk culture. During the T'ang
Dynasty (618-905 A.D.), pai hsi reached its most
glorious heights. A special training school was
established called Chias Fang to train performers in
music, dance, and later in kung fu. Many of the acts
devised at this time are still practiced by the Magic
Circus today.

In ancient China, magic played a prevalent role
in pai hsi. Magicians supposedly could swallow
swords, spit fire, and produce trees from thin air. One
chap was said to be able to "spit fire, dissect himself,
and transplant the heads of bulls and horses."
Luckily, today the "hundred acts" emphasizes less
gruesome displays. The Farthing show featured such
acts as the "Dance of the Dragon", a Chinese version
of vaudvillian comedy, the beautiful and traditional
"Village Chopstick Dance", and exhibitions of kung
fu. Hair raising balancing acts involving chairs,
tables, flower pots, and humans were interspersed
throughout. The Chinese Magic Circus of Taiwan will
certainly be remembered by young and old alike.

As part of the
1983-1984 Home-
coming festivities,
ASU played host to
Guy Lombardo's
famous Royal Can-
adians. Directed by
Art Mooney, the
big band swayed
the crowd with "the
Sweetest Music this
Side of Heaven"
including music by
Duke Ellington,
Benny Goodman,
and the Dorsey
Brothers.

GRAND BALLROOM
DANCE DANCE DANCE

Big Bands make a comeback! Guy Lombardo's Canadians played Farthing this fall.

An almost sold-out house battled one of the worst snow
storms this year to hear the great jazz pianist Dave Brubeck and
his quartet play at Farthing on February 28. Unfortunately, the
group's saxophonist, Jerry Bergonzi did not appear. Because of
snow, his plane was grounded in Buffalo, New York, but the
crowd was treated to a sterling performance by the remaining
trio.

Brubeck, obviously tired from travel and the saxophonist's
absence, was prompted to say that "this has been one of the worst
days of my life, but outside of that it's been great."

The first tune was W.C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues". Starting
out in a slow 4/4 blues tempo, the band accelerated to a modern
interpretation of the old standard with solos from Brubeck and
his bass playing son, Chris.

Again in the second piece, the Quartet remained in the blues
mood with "The Duke," a tribute to Duke Ellington. Essentially
a Brubeck composition, the tune included snatches from
Ellington's work.

By this time Brubeck's fatigue had begun to fade, and his
playing gained new life. His next piece "Tri-Tones" was an
exceptionally difficult work utilizing different time signatures for
each instrument and different keys and tempos for each hand
of the pianist. "Tri-Tones" had a mechanical quality which was
expertly complemented by Chris's melodic bass lines.

"Jazz Impressions of Japan" was a hauntingly beautiful piece
based on scales used with the traditional Japanese stringed
instrument, the koto. The mystery of the orient was captured with
this tune, evoking scenes of mist sliding over dark mountain crags
in a Japanese water color.

Chopin has always fascinated Brubeck. "Dziekuje", meaning
"thank you" in Polish, integrated Chopin's florid romanticism
with up-beat, modern jazz.

After a short intermission, Brubeck turned the show over to
his sidemen; his son Chris and drummer Randy Jones. Chris
thrilled the audience with two brilliant bass trombone solos, and
Jones' frequent solos were tight and exact.

The second set ended with "Take Five", the Brubeck
standard. This song, however, was a little weak without the sax,
but solos from each performer helped to take up any slack.

After many minutes of a standing ovation, the "three man
quartet" came back for an encore. "This has been a unique and
different concert for us," said Brubeck, referring to the absent
sax player. "I would have liked to have quit while we were ahead."
As the song ended, the crowd rose to its feet in applause while
the trio exited, arm in arm. It was truly a unique experience for
everyone, well worth braving a Boone winter snow storm.

PERFORMANCE ■ Chamber Series

ARTICLES BY PAUL BAKER

Jeffrey Hollander opened this
year's Chamber Music Series on the
evening of September 29. Hol-
lander, a member of the piano
faculty of the University of Wiscon-
sin at Milwaukee, entertained a
small crowd with classical music,
jazz, and ingenious improvisation.

The celebrated quintet An Die
Musik performed at ASU on
October 13. The group has played
in the U.S. and Europe since 1976. The Monumental Brass Quintet

An Die Musik, formed by pianist ,

Constance Emmerich, is named
after a poem written by Schober
and put to music by Schubert.

The Lewis Weintraub Trio
played to an enraptured ASU
audience on February 8. The Trio
was comprised of cellist Dorothy
Hall Lewis, pianist Gary Lewis, and
oboist Jason Weintraub. Wein-
traub, a well known soloist and j^^ Lewis-Weintraub Trio
orchestral musician, is a former
member of both the Rochester
Philharmonic and the Rochester
Chamber Orchestra.

The Monumental Brass Quin-
tet entertained ASU music lovers
with a free concert on February 23
in the new Broyhill Auditorium.
The Quintet, consisting of Patrick
Whitehead and Lewis Dutrow on
trumpets; Carol Conti-Entin, horn;
Martin Hughes, trombone; and C.
Russell McKinny on bass trom-
bone, gave an outstanding perfor-
mance of works by Claude le Jeune,
J. S. Bach, Robert Sanders, and
Samuel Scheldt.

Traditional chamber music and
modern British compositions were
the fare of the last concert of the
Chamber Series performed on
March 24. The Ampliion String
Quartet originated in London as the
protege of the Aeolian and Am-
adeus Quartets, and has toured
extensively in England.

The ASU Wind Ensemble, under
the direction of Dr. William A.
Gora, gave two well received
concerts this year. The Ensemble
is comprised of a select group of
some 50 members. During the
November 30th concert the group
presented the world premier of
American composer Lawrence
Weiner's "Structures for Wind
Band". The second performance
included works by Samuel
Barber, Aaron Copland, Percy
Grainger's "Gum Sucker's
March," and Pulitzer Prize win-
ning composer Karel Husa's
"Apotheosis of this Earth." j^^ y^Sl

The Appalachian University Singers is a
choral group designed to give its members
the opportunity to entertain while at the
same time improve their own talents. The
group, accompanied by Julie Reed on
piano, is directed by Dr. Noel Lovelace.
The singers toured throughout North
Carolina and Virginia during the month
of March, giving them more opportunity
to gain experience in performance.

The ASU Jazz Ensemble, tradi-
tionally one of the hottest musical
acts on campus, lived up to its
reputation again this year. The
dazzling February 25th perfor-
mance with trumpeter Jon Faddis
was the highlight of the All-State
Weekend Festivities. Faddis,
"hailed as the youngster most
likely to carry the torch handed
down from Satchmo to Roy
Eldridge to Dizzy Gillespie,"
jammed to the back up of the
Jazz Ensemble under the direc-
tion of Dr. William Gora. Recent-
ly, Faddis was presented by
Gillespie as the veteran's protege
at the White House concert
before Mrs. Reagan.

The ASU Percussion Ensemble
once again presented a memor-
able Halloween concert this
year. Dressed in masks and
costumes, the Ensemble in-
troduced a captivated audience
to a weird, modern repertoire.
The multi-media event, replete
with slides, lights, and even a
musical computer, was made in
conjunction with the Art
Department. The Ensemble
membership fluctuates between
15 and 20 people who play
literally hundreds of in-
struments, some hand-made.

The Appalachian Symphony Orchestra,
a group of 55 talented students, faculty,
and members of the surrounding
community, performed four concerts
this year. The first, presented in the
fall, included Brahms', Serenade No. I
in D, and Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio
Espagnol. The second concert was a
joint effort with the Chorale Depart-
ment. Dr. Clinton Parker conducted the
Appalachina Chorale and orchestra in
Bach's Magnificat in D. The March 1st
concert featured works by Arriaga,
Satie, Bartok, and Liszt. The final
presentation of the 1983-84 season

Just three years ago, the Canter-
bury Association had only five active
members. Today over twenty students
participate in the club's activities. Ski
and beach trips, camp-outs, retreats,
canoeing and hiking are planned on a
regular basis, and over Christmas this
year several members went to Colorado
for the National Episcopal College
Conference.

The Canterbury Association is
affiliated with St. Lukes Episcopal
Church, and the church and parish hall
are never locked. The members drop in
all day long for a quiet place to study,
to talk, or simply to escape from the
hectic life of classrooms and resident
halls.

Centered at St. Elizabeth Catholic
Church, the Catholic Campus Ministry
sponsors numerous activities including
a folk group that sings at Mass, rest
home visitations, representations on the
parish council, counseling sessions,
lecturers, and musicians. This year the
student members provided the program
for an "Encounter-with-Christ."

Students gather once a week for a
meeting at the church. In addition to
students, the membership includes
University faculty and staff.

Community projects are part of the
activities of the Westminster Fellow-
ship. This year they all got together and
delivered firewood to the elderly
residents in Boone who were unable to
get it for themselves. The members
meet once a week for a meal, worship,
and study, and throughout the year
they go to conferences and retreats.
This February they all went to the state
conference in Mundo Vista.

The Westminster Student Center,
located next to the post office, is a place
for the members to meet informally
during the day.

Campus Crusade for Christ. The CCC
is a staff-directed, student-led organiza-
tion that meets in Sanford Hall. After
Christmas this year many members
attended KC-83, a national conference
held in Kansas City. The purpose of
this conference was "to help ignite a
spiritual revolution among students."
The ultimate goal is to eventually
redirect all campuses toward Christ.

At the weekly meetings everyone
meets as a group for singing, sharing,
and prayer. They then break into
smaller sessions to discuss different
topics of Christian growth.

Every Thursday night at the home
of Jim and Susan Wilde, the Baha'i
College Club holds a "Fireside." This is
a meeting when certain aspects of the
Baha'i faith are discussed for the
education and enlightenment of the
members and guests. Since the Baha'i
faith has no clergy, these meetings often
serve as times of worship. The Baha'i
College Club sponsors lecturers, discus-
sions, classroom presentations, and
social activities. For the past two years,
the club has provided evening refresh-
ments during exams for the word-weary
students.

The members of the Baha'i Club do
not actively gather new members, but
anyone who is curious is welcome to
attend one of the Firesides and discover
the Baha'i beliefs.

Evangelism: to lead others to
personal faith in Christ; Discipleship: to
help Christians grow toward maturity
as disciples of Christ through the Bible
study, prayer, and fellowship; Missions:
to present the call of God to the world
mission of the church and to help
students and faculty discover God's role
for them. These are the themes of the
Inter- Varsity Christian Fellowship.

This organization is a student-led,
interdenominational campus Christian
organization that holds weekly meetings
in Sanford Hall. At these meetings
students and faculty sing, talk, discuss,
share experiences, and praise the Lord.
There is no set membership as such;
anyone interested is encouraged to
attend.

Sponsored by the Methodist
Church, the Wesley Foundation sup-
ports a choir, a worship team that

during the day, study quietly, and play

from home," the Foundation offers
creative worship services, evening
programs, and retreats. The members
are encouraged to worship on Sundays
with the congregation of the Boone
United Methodist Church.

At Grace Lutheran Church, the
members of Lutheran Students of
Appalachian meet for meals, worship,
fellowship, relaxation and counsel. In
addition to weekly scheduled events,
the LSA is involved with community
service projects, the United Campus
Ministry, and the Lutheran Student
Movement, USA.

The doors of the center are open
to everyone. According to Mike Fortner,
there is much warmth and Christian
fellowship in the "home away from
home" atmosphere at the Lutheran
Student Center.

The Jewish Students Club is in a
unique position here at ASU. It is
comprised of a small number of Jewish
students in a predominately Protestant
institution. Their meetings are designed
to keep the members aware of their
religious background, and also provide
discussion on coping with the problems
of being out numbered.

In the fall, the club sponsored a
speaker on campus, Yosef Yaaker, the
Consul-General of Israel. Just before
Christmas they celebrated Hannukah,
and in the spring they sponsored a ski
retreat.

Sponsoring a spaghetti-eating con-
test is just one of the activities of the
Baptist Student Union. They also
support six ministry teams that minis-
ter to area churches and the campus.
The Center welcomes you into its
fellowship as you are, and encourages
you to participate in the weekly worship
services: morning devotions Monday
and Thursday and evening celebration
on Monday nights, followed by a meal.

The BSU provides ministry and
missionary opportunities for those who
want to serve in a worthwhile cause. A
former BSU member recently devoted
his personal mission work in Togo,
Africa.

The Center is a place for relaxing
and meeting with friends. As BSU
member Martha Barlowe says, "The
BSU provides warmth in the coldest of
times."

toward valuable community

service activities.

ARTICLE BY ROBBIE REAVES

Volunteering one's time and energy to
community service is a gift which never can
be repaid in monetary terms, but it is one
which pays over and over again in other ways
for those who participate. ASU has six
community service clubs on campus this year:
Circle K. Vocational Rehabilitation, Volun-
teers in Service for Youth, Alpha Phi Omega,
the Compass Club, and the Alumni Ambas-
sadors.

"Achieving unity through service" was
the international theme for Circle K this year.
Circle K, a college level co-ed division of
Kiwanis International, is the largest college
service organization in the United States
boasting more than 700 clubs and over 10,000
members.

The club's activities included its usual
visits to and parties for the Grandfather

Mountain Home for Children, tutoring of
Upward Bound high school students, and
blood drives. Many of these services were
performed along with the Boone Kiwanis and
the Watauga High School Key Club.

President Andy Wortham said he
believed that the Christmas party given in
cooperation with the Boone Kiwanis for the
needy children of Hardin Park Elementary
School, "really brought the club together as
a whole and helped to achieve the interna-
tional theme." Circle K also participated in
the seventh annual ski weekend for its
members in the division in February. In
March they held their Super Dance, a
dance-a-thon for Muscular Dystrophy.

Increasing the accessability of voting

priority for the Vocational Rehabilitation

Club this year. Members of the club are
dedicated to helping handicapped people.
"We will read for, walk across campus, or
help in any way that we are asked," said
president Deborah Hurtzog. A majority of
the club's 14 members are rehabilitation-
Psychology majors.

Under the guidance of faculty advisor
Dr. Gary Sigmund, the club attended the
regional Vocational Rehabilitation
Conference in Tampa, Florida in April.
There they were introduced to new and
improved ways of aiding the handicapped.
Hurtzog said that the effort put forth by
the organization "is worth the time
because you can see the results."

Providing mature adult companion-
ship and a strong image for the children
of Watauga County between the ages of
five and twelve was the main objective of
Volunteers in Service for Youth this year.
Board Chairman Chris Lumley said that
the 40 to 60 volunteers in the group range
in career goals from "elementary educa-
tion and special education to business
education. Most of them are basically
interested in kids."

Each member has a little brother or
sister to share with throughout the year.
Kids are taken to Tweetsie Railroad, trick
or treating, bowling and similar activities i
in groups or with their surrogate sibling.
The year's activities ended with a group
field day. To finance the organization,
VISFY sold donuts and raffle tickets.

Collecting books for the Watauga
County Prison, clearing land for Father
Rick's Home for Orphans, weather
proofing homes for the elderly, and
helping the Council on Aging were just a
few of the many activities performed by
Alpha Phi Omega this year.

Alpha Phi Omega is a national
service fraternity which is based on the
principles of scouting. Because of this
association, the group is closely involved
with the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Cub
Scouts in the area. Members of the group
served as judges in the fall at the Watauga
County Camporee and in the winter at
the scout's Klondike Derby. They also
held dances, a bike rodeo, assisted blind
students on campus with reading, and

vorked with the Heart Fund. Vice
-"resident Gil Hill said, "We are a service
;lub, and anyone interested in serving is
velcome." This year new members
wrought the club's total to 60.

"On Course for Tomorrow" is the
notto for the newest service club on
:ampus, the Compass Club. The club's
deals are friendship and service, and this
'ear they certainly lived up to them. In
m interview with the Appalachian,
'resident Susan Wakefield said, "We are
. service organization working for the
ommunity and school. That's what we
/ill be doing in the future. So far, we have
larticipated in the canned food drive,
'hristmas caroling for the elderly in the
'erkinsville community, and we built a
[oat for the Boone Christmas Parade."
^he group also took area children out
rick or treating with the Volunteers in
lervice for Youth on Halloween.

"It's a good club to belong to," said
Wakefield, "if you like working for the
chool and community, but I think it's
imply a great group to belong to for the
lere fact that you get a lot of personal
enefit out of it."

The Appalachian Student Alumni
.mbassadors (ASAA) is a service group
'hose sole purpose is the promotion of
S\J. The Ambassadors conducted cam-
us tours for potential ASU students
uring Parent's Day, Homecoming, and
ollege Days for High School Seniors,
'he Group is sponsored by Alumni
ffairs.

The ASAA is composed of a select
lembership of 25 students. Each student
mst maintain a 2.5 GPA. They came
om all academic disciplines but are
rawn together by their love for ASU.
srry Adams, President of ASAA said,
fMumni Ambassadors are students who
;ally believe in ASU., and they go to
;hool here because they want to, not
scause they have to. If you are proud of
SU, then being an Ambassador is great
scause it gives you a chance to show off
le University."

KEN TALLEY
SPEAKS OUT

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY PAUL BAKER

hen Ken Talley
decided to run
for Student Body
President, he
jumped into a
raging fire of controversy. Substantial losses from the
previous year's Homecoming concert and an apathetic
student body have made his job difficult. Despite the
pressures, Ken Talley strikes a figure of leadership, and his
sober ideas on student government and the ASU experience
are re-establishing the importance of the Presidency.

RHODODENDRON: A prevalent attitude on campus is that
the SGA is just an ego trip for its members, just something
to put on a resume. Why did you run for SGA President?
Talley: Well, last year when people were saddling up for
campaigns, I was down in the Public Defender's office racking
my brains out every Wednesday night preparing cases. I talked
alot to people who worked up here (SGA) about what they were
doing, because I found myself answering for SGA when I was
in public or at a social function. People said, "Well look, what

are those people doing over there. Ken? What about that
$11,000.00 lost on concerts last year?" I've worked with the N.C.
Student Legislature so I knew a lot about how a legislative
branch works. I felt that I was capable and knew as much or
more than most of the people who were there. People asked
me to run with them, or just to run period. I never really
considered it. I never could see myself in this office. We already
knew who was going to run - the Kleine/Cassetti ticket and
the Baltes/Gibbs ticket - and it kind of scared me. You know,
I hate to take anything away from either of those tickets, but
then when you consider the experience they had with student
government - there wasn't any, except for Pat (Baltes). I asked
myself, "Ken, is there anybody that you know of who could
do it better than you?" I had to say, "no". I thought that there
were a lot of ideas that I had that could help the students,
so I went for it.

RHODODENDRON: What major issues have you encountered
this year?

Talley: I think (the issue of) concerts was the biggest one. If
the students at this University feel that we're nothing but
egotistical, resume-writing do nothings then why not hand it
over to a group that is better prepared to accomodate the
students' wishes. I think that they did not realize that if they
used their voices constructively and went to their Senators; if
they came to me instead of writing to The Appalachian

eople in Boone think
that if there were
beer here there
would be 10,000
drunks running
around King St.
raping their
daughters, rampaging
the businesses, vandalism, break-ins, murders
— the whole thing would escalate to
astronomical proportions."

complaining about something that had already past; if they
came before the concert took place, we would have been willing
to help. That's what we needed. That's what every government
needs.

Another issue is that of the Rock. Everything is getting
closed down that hasn't already been closed. We've been
successful in answering the students' needs with 'brown
bagging' in the Student Union, and hopefully with the opening
of the former food store for 'brown bagging' and concerts.
RHODODENDRON: Election turn-outs this year have been
embarrassingly low. Does this reflect a lack of interest on the
part of the student body? If so, what do you feel causes such
apathy?
Talley: A lot of the apathy goes back to last year. The concert

Talley: My opinion is that you only get out of it what you put
into it. I think that people should explore job opportunities and
the job market and try to structure what they're doing in school
so that when they get out they will be in an area that is going
to have a need. Or be creative. There are a lot of services and
jobs that you could create yourself if you find it in wide demand.
You're going to have to create a place for yourself if there is
not one waiting for you.

RHODODENDRON: Do you feel that the main objective of
students at ASU is primarily to obtain a well-paying job after
graduation or to become well educated?

Talley: That goes back to the individual. If you poll the people
in the College of Business, I think that you will find that most
are here to get a job so that they will make more money. If
you go to the English Department or the Elementary Education
Department, they're here so that they can share the knowledge
they have accrued over the years. Personally, I want a balance
of both. I don't want to go to school for four or five years, invest
all that time and money to go out and get a minimum wage
job. I would say that anyone who comes here for four years
goes away better educated, even if the purpose is just to make
a higher salary.

RHODODENDRON: What changes would you like to see at
ASU and in Boone in the next ten years?

losses remained a big issue all year long. I think that the
negative attitude that was planted last year or in preceding
years prevailed. We've been combating it all year.
RHODODENDRON: Does it disturb you. Ken, that the major
issues among students of this campus are concerned with
alcohol and Homecoming bands instead of more momentous
social and political concerns?

Talley: I think that says a lot. This is the 'Me Generation'.
People are more concerned with what affects them the most,
rhey seem a little self-centered. They live in a very small world.
RHODODENDRON: In recent years, the value of a college
diploma has dwindled. Graduates, especially in the Liberal Arts,
^ind it increasingly difficult to get a job. What reasons do you
rive to validate four years in college?

ast time I went home, I
went hunting and sat out in
the rain for three hours just
because nobody knew I
was there. Nobody could
mess with me. I was away
from telephones and notes
on the door."

Talley: I'd like to see more on-campus housing and maybe
Greek housing. I'd like to see SGA held in higher esteem, with
more students involved and more respectful of SGA. I hope that
I am laying the foundation now so that this may become a
reality.

The biggest change I'd like to see is a better understanding
between the community and the University. I'd like for the
community to realize that this University means a lot to this
town. We're the largest employer, the highest taxpayer, and the
services these people can acquire - we've got the auditorium,
we've got Farthing. The cultural events they can attend, and
the gym. I think that the community is very far removed from
the students here. I'd like to see a blend. I'd like to see
everybody getting along better. We're here - we're going to be
here. We might as well learn to cooperate and get along and
help each other.

IF STUDENTS
ARE WILLING,
SGA WORKS

iddled with controversy
even before the year
began, the Student
Government Associa-
tion fought an uphill
battle to gain the student body's respect
and cooperation. Blunders from the
previous year's SGA, the debated validity
of the presidential election itself, and an
apathetic student body made the task of
student government a thankless job.

Like our federal government, the
SGA consists of three branches. The
Executive branch, headed by President
Ken Talley, is responsible for the
implementation of SGA policy. Vice
President Eddie Hill presided over the
Student Senate, which is made up of
elected officials, one representative for
every 100 on-campus students and a total
of 52 representatives for off-campus
students. Each Senator is required to sit
upon one of the five special subcommit-
tees (Rules, Welfare, Elections, Research,
and Concert). The Judicial branch,
directed by Chief Justice Billy Boggs,
protects the Constitution, interprets the

law, and metes out punishment for
students who transgress the Judicial
Code. Most of the cases tried in Student
Court involve infractions against Re-
sidence Hall rules: violation of visitation
hours, unauthorized occupancy, and
violation of quiet hours. The new state
alcohol laws enacted this year gave rise to
an increasing number of cases involving
underage drinking on campus.

The tumultuous political year actual-
ly started in the spring of 1983 with the
presidential elections. The much debated
disqualification of the Gibbs/Baltes ticket
cast doubt upon Ken Talley's and Eddie
Hill's claim to victory.

Hardly had the elections controversy
cooled when the age-old concert problem
reared its ugly head. During the previous
year, SGA bungled in its attempt to
present a successful Homecoming concert

by losing almost $12,000.00 of the
students' money. This year the SGA
enlisted an outside promoter to help
alleviate the problem of financial risk.
Much to the dismay of many students, a
bid by the Talking Heads was rejected,
and the 'middle of the road' band Cheap
Trick was booked. The concert was held
ten days before Homecoming, and a
smaller band, Sugarcreek, appeared at the
actual Homecoming event.

Outbursts against the SGA's choice
of bands by students have been consistent
over the past few years, and except for
these outbursts, student involvement in
SGA affairs has been minimal. Lack of
student participation was evident in the
low voter turnout for SGA sponsored
elections, where only 640 votes were cast
for Senate candidates, leaving fifty
Senate seats unfilled. A special election

Elections Committee Chairman John
Adams said, "The Elections Committee
cannot force people to vote. Voting is the
privilege of each student to decide who
will represent his interests in SGA."

Although interest was low, the SGA
did provide some valuable services to
ASU. Most visible was the opening of the
Student Activity Room in the Student
Union to brown-bagging and live enter-
tainment. The SGA was instrumental in
turning the old Winn-Dixie building into
a new entertainment spot, and provided
students with special discount cards good
at many area restaurants and stores. An
in-depth catalog of General Education
courses was published and distributed to
aid in preregistration for the spring
semester, and a voter registration drive
was held. Contests held by the SGA
included those for a new SGA logo, the
best decorated dorm at Homecoming, and
a name for the new entertainment center.

THE BLACK
PERSPECTIVE
AT ASU

ARTICLE BY CATHY STUART

he Black Student As-
sociation was organ-
ized in 1971 as a
division of Minority

Affairs. The BSA is a

continuously growing organization. There
are approximatly 180 active members out
of a total black population of 320.

The purpose of the BSA is to provide
a central point from which blacks can
actively express and share their views and
interests. James Luster, BSA President,
said, "The major goal of the BSA is to
create more unity among black and white
students. We attempt to achieve this goal
by offering cultural programs and
activities throughout the year. It is our
hope that through these activities, we can

better educate the white students as well
as the black students on the history,
heritage, and culture of black Americans.
It is with this increased knowledge that
we can gain a better understanding of
each other as a human race."

Concerning racial issues on campus.
Luster said, "I think that the black
student faces certain obstacles that the
white student does not. At any education-
al institution there should be a horizontal balance of
educational, religious, and social activities. Educational
and religious activities at ASU are excellent, but
socially, black students are at a slight disadvantage. The
University and the Department of Student Affairs have
recently placed much more emphasis on the social
environment and given black students a more positive
attitude."

Black Student Associa-
tion President James
Luster feels that his
organization's major goal
is to "create more unity
among black and white
students by offering
cultural programs and
activities throughout the
year."

The BSA actively participates in
Black Heritage Week, Black History
Month, and Black Awareness Weekend.
They also serve as a support system for
the Office of Minority Student Affairs.
The BSA conducts awareness programs
that emphasize black culture, history, and
perspective. The BSA gospel choir
provides a necessary outlet for black
expression. It is also a viable recruiting
unit for prospective black students. The
choir visits area high schools, youth
centers, and churches in an attempt to
give more exposure of the black perspec-
tive at ASU.

Aside from the BSA, there are a
number of other programs and activities
available to the black student. Said
'Luster, "The chartering of a bk'-k

fraternity, service and social clubs have
given the black student many more
outlets for expressing his or her own
personality. These clubs, organizations,
and fraternities have provided a much
needed service for the black population at
Appalachian."

Kappa Alpha Psi, a black fraternity,
was established for the first time this
year. President Eddie Barnes said that
the group is "all about helping people
achieve things." The Kappa Psi's place
emphasis on public service projects,
especially those that will help under-
privileged children. Kappa Alpha Psi is
one of the four national black fraternities.
It provides emergency loans and works
with the NAACP, the United Negro
College Fund, and the Urban League.

CONFRONTING

THE

ISSUES

ARTICLES AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BY PAUL BAKER

he political outlook in
1983-84 was a grim one.
Frightening news of terrorist
bombings in the Middle
East, the U. S. invasion of
Grenada, overt CIA and military action in
Central America, and the escalation of the
nuclear weapons race all vied for front page
space. ASU students were not only
confronted with these dire problems, but
also with the more immediate concerns
associated with school. The pressures of
studies, work and relationships sometimes
superseded those of the distant world. Some
ASU students took time from their busy
schedules to investigate and address the
broad problems of the country. Banded
together in groups and organizations, these
students strove to educate themselves and
the student body on issues including
nuclear armaments, women's rights and war
in Central America.

APPALACHIAN COMMITTEE
ON CENTRAL AMERICA

ne of the more active
political groups on cam-
pus, the Appalachian
Committee on Central
America, is not yet
officially recognized by the University.
The group was formed this fall semester
after a number of students and professors
returned from a tour of embattled
Nicaragua.

The first major event sponsored by
the group was an educational forum on U.
S. involvement in the Central American
region. "Our object was not to take a
side," said committee member Dr. Allen
Wells, "but to really try to give both sides
of the picture to the audience so that they
could decide for themselves. We invited
a representative from the U. S. State
Department, Charles Harrington, who
gave the administration's point of view.
What we try to do is give a balanced
perspective, to get people from both sides
of the issue to come and talk and then
have students, faculty, and people from
the community make up their own
minds."
110

Dr. Allen Wells of the ACCA feels
{a commitment toward educating
ASU students about Central
America.

Wells and his colleagues insist that
the group's purpose is to educate. Wells
said, "We feel we have a responsibility as
educators to reach out to the University
community and the community at large
and educate them as to what is going on
in Central America. If we get people
interested in what's going on then it will
make them better informed citizens and
hopefully, that will carry over to writing
their Congressman or participating in
elections with better information." In
addition to the forum, the committee has
sponsored letter writing campaigns, guest
speakers, and contact booths in the
Student Union.

Student participation in the Appala-
chian Committee on Central America is
very high. Wells cited, for example, that
the educational forum in September drew
about 250 people as compared with 50 to
75 persons attending a similar forum held
at UNC in Chapel Hill. Close to twenty
people from ASU marched on Washing-
ton in November to protest U. S.
involvement in the Caribbean and
Central America. For Dr. Wells, this is
encouraging, and he would like to see
more students participating in political
issues, adding, "rather than take the
negative, apathetic kind of approach to
life, I think it's more important to
accentuate the positive and say that we're
pushing and moving and trying to do
something about it, rather than say the
students don't care."

STUDENTS FOR NUCLEAR
ARMS AWARENESS

jhe Students for Nucleaj
I Arms Awareness, estab
lished in the fall of 1982
have involved themselves
in the task of educating
students, faculty, and members of th(
surrounding community about th(
dangers of nuclear arms proliferation
The endeavor has indeed proven formid
able. Growing nationalistic fervor, armec
conflicts involving U. S. troops around tht
globe, and a generally unconcerned aii
here at ASU have not helped the group
in its efforts.

The perseverance of these few
dedicated students, however, remainec
undaunted. Their Tuesday night meet
ings in Chapell Wilson Hall provided i
forum for intelligent, well-informec
discussions of the issue. In addition to th(
meetings, SNAA conducted letter writinj
campaigns to political figures voicing
opposition to U. S. nuclear arms policy
Contact tables set up in the Studen
Union and around the communitj
allowed personal interaction witl
students and the public. Also of greai
interest to SNAA was ABC television's
"The Day After", a graphic presentatior
of America's destruction by nuclear ww
which was broadcast in November. Th(
show's impact on students was apparem
in increased attendance at meetings anc
contact tables. Whether this level o:
interest can be sustained or not remains
to be seen.

The problem of insufficient interes
on the part of the student body stemi
from the enormity of the issue itself

it is not made up exclusively of women.
Over thirty male and female students,
faculty and members of the community
comprise the group. A fee of $5.00 entitles
each member to an AWS button and
monthly issue of Ms. magazine.

A very active group, the AWS tries
to present a program each month for the
University. In October, Dr. Elaine Grovitz
of Duke University spoke on the topic,
"The Modern Woman: Career, Marriage
and Family - Is it really possible?" Tullis
McCall, an actress from New York,
presented a one-woman show, "What
Every Woman Knows", to a capacity
crowd in Chapell Wilson Auditorium.

Students feel that little, if anything can
be done by individuals or even groups
5uch as SNAA. The members of the group
recognize the students' dilemma, but are
convinced that with determination
something can be done. Mary Taylor, an
5NAA member said, "The only thing
veVe got about this is hope. And that
lope is a thread, just one little thread."
;t is that hope which keeps SNAA going.

ince January of 1981, the
Association for Women
Students has been recog-
nized as an official organ-
ization at ASU. According
to President Sona Chambers, the AWS
exists to "make people aware of women
students and the issues concerning them
nationally, state-wide, and locally." The
group, she stresses, is for women although

Annually, the AWS conducts a series
of lectures and shows during Women's
Week. This year eight nationally known
feminist speakers and performers were
presented. Over 20 clubs and organiza-
tions helped in bringing the events to
ASU.

Despite the efforts of AWS, many
students remain ignorant of their cause.
"Sometimes people have a negative
connotation of our group," said
Chambers. "I don't know why. I think a
lot of people associate feminism with
lesbianism, but that's not our main
objective in the club. Concerns affecting
all women is our aim whether it's the
lesbian, feminist, or mainstream woman."

The AWS intends to grow and
further their efforts in educating people
about women in the future. A major goal
is to inform students of the important
historic, artistic, and scientific achieve-
ments of women by incorporating them
into the traditionally male-dominated
courses.

BROTHERS

AND

SISTERS

During the eleven years the Greek
system has been at ASU, it has grown and
lasting friendships are the result. "ASU
doesn't have a stereotypical Greek
system," said Tammy Childress of Chi
Omega. Each organization stresses in-
dividuality.

Enhancing friendships that last
forever — that's what sororities accom-
plish according to Delta Zeta president
Paula Passmore. Sorority women share a
common bond, but their friendship is not
limited. "A lot of people think that
sorority women don't want or allow
friends outside of the sorority. But that's
not true," Passmore said.

Delta Zeta is not only a social sorority
but is also a service organization. Most of
their fund raising proceeds go to support
a school for the deaf in Washington, D.C.
DZ activities included a raffle for a dinner
for two, a walk-a-thon, and trick or
treating for UNICEF. The chapter has
been on campus for nine years.

Celebrating its first official year on
campus as a chapter, Sigma Nu fraterni-
ty's big activity was Rush Month.
Recruiting and inducting new members
enabled President Joe DePasquale to say
it was the "quickest Sigma Nu chapter to
get its charter." Sigma Nu has 64
members. "Sigma Nu has a very proud
heritage," explained DePasquale. "I'm
glad ASU has given us a chance as a
fraternity on campus," he said.

Sigma Nu is a social fraternity. They
participated in Heart Fund activities and
took a trip to Sigma Nu headquarters in
Lexington, Kentucky. This trip "helped
all the brothers get together," said
DePasquale.

Chi Omega is "a sisterhood in which
one can share and grow," said President
Tammy Childress. Sharing seems to be a
large aspect of the nine year old sorority.
Chi Omega women sponsored a needy
child in Boone and one overseas. They
also held an Easter egg hunt for children
in Boone. In addition, they supported the
Heart Fund. Socially, Chi Omega held
several parties, a Christmas dance, a
spring dance, and the famous Chi Omega
kidnap. Girls would kidnap a guy, lead
him to one of their parties, and introduce
him to his date for the evening. "It's fun,"
said Childress.

about his brothers in Sigma Phi Epsilon.
"We're a group of young men striving to
be the best we can be," he said. The social
fraternity is in its ninth year at ASU. This
year they acquired a new frat house where
they entertained members with several
mixers. Sigma Phi supports the Heart
Fund. They participated in several Heart
Fund events including the Crimson Heart
Ball. The Goldenhearts, Sigma Phi's little
sisters, actively participated in the
fraternity's parties and charitable pro-
grams.

"The men of Kappa Alpha incorpor-
ate the highest ideals of loyalty to God
and esteem of women," said Vice-
President John Allison. The Kappa Alpha
Order had 20 active members who
"worked together to get things accom-
plished," said Allison. Their main
activities included Rush and fund raising
for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.
The fraternity's little sisters, the South-
ern Belles, assisted the frat in their
various functions. Allison stressed that
the organization's main objectives were
academics and scholarship. The frat is as
"strong as it's ever been and working
toward academic excellence," he said,

"The best experience of my college
career," is how Vice President Radford
Thomas described his membership in Pi
Kappa Phi. The national service fraterni-
ty had 45 active members this year and
was dedicated to the charity, PUSH, an
acronym for Play Units for the Severely
Handicapped. Fund raisers included a
state-wide wheelchair push to purchase
the 15 to 20 thousand dollar units. April
was Pi K's most active month since
Governor Hunt procliamed it as PUSH
month. In addition to the charitable work.
Pi Kappa Phi held mixers and its annual
Rose Ball in March. The event is, as
Radford put it, "our reward for all the
hard work we do."

"Being Greek is more than buying
your friendship. It's people you meet and
know for life," said Carl Blue, President
of Tau Kappa Epsilon. The TKE's have
35 active members and have been at ASU
for ten years. They are famous for their
"li-annual boxing tournaments, and spring
Fan Jams. They also held a keg roll for
Saint Jude's Hospital founded by TKE
alumnus, Danny Thomas, and a Valen-
tine's day blood drive. TKE little sisters.

the Order of Diana, helped out when
needed. Other activities included a ski
night at Beech, Rock Night at Mother
Fletcher's, and a pig roast. Blue stated
that being in a frat "helps educate
yourself better beyond education." It
could be true. After all, Ronald Reagan
was a TKE.

Diamonds, pearls, and clasping hands
symbolize Alpha Delta Pi, a social
sorority that has been on campus since
1975. AD's participated in a variety of
social activities throughout the year
including Parent's Weekend, Homecom-
ing, several mixers, a Christmas dance,
and a spring formal. They also raised
money for the Ronald McDonald House
and sponsored a fund raiser at Antler's to
help out an alumnus in need. Vice-
President Nola Malone summed up the
Alpha Delta Pi experience by saying, "I
think our motto, 'We Live for Each
Other,' truly symbolizes the true friend-
ship found between Greek organizations."

With 90 active members and eleven
years at ASU to its credit. Kappa Delta
is not only the oldest but largest Greek
organization on campus. This year they
sponsored the Inter-Greek Blood Drive,
contributed food in the canned food drive,
sold peanuts for Hospice, and distributed
rental books for the bookstore. The
Kappa Delta's were not restricted to
service activities, however. They compet-
ed in intramurals and held a very
successful beach party in February.
Working together made the society what
it is. President Lesley Hoyt said,
"Sisterhood is the strongest aspect of our
society; I would encourage anyone to go
Greek."

"Any man can be in a frat, but it
takes someone special to be a Kappa
Sigma." Not all frats may agree with this
statement, but that's the Kappa Sigma
motto according to Randy Gale, President
of the organization. "We respect each
other's opinions," he said of their
individuality. "We don't have clones."
The social fraternity is in its tenth year
and has 43 active members. They support
the Muscular Dystrophy Association, and
held a 'Bahama Mama' raffle for a trip
to the Bahamas to help the charity.
Kappa Sigma also held a Valentine's Day
party at the Holiday Inn and several
mixers during the year. They also placed

twelfth in the national intramurals
championships in New Orleans.

Getting more people involved in the
sisterhood was the main goal of Phi Mu.
The social sorority was one of the three
organizations that reached the induction
quota of 41 girls. They established a new
code of ethics and worked in leadership
workshops. This year at the Panhellenic
banquet, Phi Mu was presented with an
award for high GPA's among its members.
Phi Mu worked with the Heart Fund and
were hostesses at the Crimson Heart Ball.
They also adopted three grandparents
through Social Services. Each week
different girls would visit with the elderly
person, sharing their love and attention
with a friend in need.

"Achievement is their national mot-
to, but the ASU colony of Kappa Alpha
Psi has its own motto - 'To unite all
college men into a bond of brotherhood,'
claimed President Eddie Barnes. Kappa
Alpha Psi hoped to obtain its charter by
the end of the spring semester in order
to become the only black fraternity on
campus. As a colony Alpha Psi retained
the same rights as a chartered frat. They
served the community in many ways.
They helped the Heart Fund, the Blood
Mobile, and the Sickle Cell Foundation.
They also instituted a Big Brother
program to help children in the area. The
new colony had eleven brothers and two
advisors, but Barnes said, "It won't be
hard to get new pledges," because Kappa
Psi offers so much to the men on campus.
"We're small; we're working hard, and
we're going to make it," he declared.

"The fraternity of honest friendship"
is Lambda Chi Alpha, an eight year old
social organization with 85 members. In
addition to their regular social events,
Lambda Chi sponsored Brice Street at
the Holiday Inn and set up a haunted
house for Watauga Parks and Recreation
on Halloween. They raised money for the
Athletic Department by running a
football all the way to Johnson City,
Tennessee. At Christmas they had a party
for the Grandfather Mountain Children's
Home. Former President Cris Doran said
that Lambda Chi "strives to keep
growing, doing more and better things."

Not A Bad

Appol

In The Bunch

With the help of the
dedicated Appol Corps,
ASU's Orientation pro-
gram helps to create
order and continuity
out of the confusion
and jitters of new
students.

"Everyone told me it was impossible,"
said Lee McCaskey, Director of Comple-
mentary Education. That impossibility is
the success of last summer's Freshman
Orientation Program held annually here
at ASU. The program is designed to give
new students an overview of the Univer-
sity's campus, facilities, and academic
opportunities.

A successful Orientation is due largely
to the efforts of a group of dedicated
upperclassmen collectively known as the
Appol Corps (Appalachian Orientation
Leaders). Throughout the three day pro-
gram Corps members serve as tour guides
and mentors to the hordes of incoming
students attending orientation. Leaders
come from all walks of college life;
their only qualification is a genuine
desire to help freshmen find their way
around. "I remember how foreign it felt
to me as a freshman," says Angle Hill.
"I want to be able to help others become
adjusted to ASU." An Appol Corps member
derives a sense of satisfaction only im-
parted by the act of helping others.
"To be an Appol Corps Leader gives me
a chance to give a part of myself to the
new freshmen in return for what I have
benefitted from here at ASU," says sen-
ior Allison McNeely. "It gives parents a
sigh of relief to see someone there for
their children and kind of substitute
for them."

On opening day each leader is assigned
to a group of 20 students. While in their

designated groups, they attend intro-
ductions to the co-curricular programs
and student organizational activities
that ASU has to offer. Faculty members
also prepared a question/answer time
for the small group meetings and addi-
tional sessions included informative
mini-courses on time management, study
skills and residence life. A special in-
terest program gave students the oppor-
tunity to explore areas of personal con-
cern. These included seminars on topics
ranging from "Opportunities for the Eng-
lish Major/Minor" to "Coping with Stress."
One of the most enjoyable attractions
was Michael Broome's "Center for the
Study of Motivation". His vivacious per-
formance gave the students a positive
outlook on college life.

Evaluations are taken each year to
gauge the effectiveness of the program.
These evaluations help to improve the
Freshman Orientation for the next year,
and the ever evolving program has become
a model for other schools in the UNC
system. Lee McCaskey, Jerry Adams (1983
Director of Appol Corps), and Byron Ol-
son (1984 Director of Appol Corps) ac-
cepted an invitation to UNC-G last year
to give their ideas on how an Orientation
Program should be run. In the eyes of
other colleges, the success of the ASU
Freshman Orientation Program speaks for
itself.

"It's a fine, fine thing," added Mc-
Caskey.

What
Equals
Long Lines?

Registration. Just the
mention of the word
quickens the heart
beat. Perhaps no other
time in the year
causes so much
student frustration. It
is all in how well you
can juggle the classes.

During the registration period, stu-
dents can be found in most any spot on
campus, staring intently into course
schedule bulletins. Occasionally these
students will wrinkle their brows,
scratch through their scribblings of
numbers and abbreviations, and wonder in
amazement how so many hours fit into one
day.

Frustrated, most students receive
guidance from advisors in their depart-
ment or the General College advisement
offices. Some students, however, choose
to "go it alone." Taking their dusty
catalog from the shelf, they study gen-
eral education requirements and make
attempts to unscramble basic university
jargon: humanities, social sciences,
biological and physical sciences . . .

The Records and Registration office

has made the registration process easier
by creating "Pre-registration." In doing
this, a student will probably avoid the
long lines and waiting in the gymnasium.
Unfortunate, however, are the students
whose class schedules are returned 'IN-
COMPLETE.' In this instance, the student
must endure a dreaded rescheduling epi-
sode entitled "Advanced Add-Drop" where
a space in a course becomes as estate
jewelry on the auction block — often
"sold" to the highest classification.
After the registration officially
ends, there is still time to drop or add
a class, but in order to do this, the
student must seek permission from the
professor who teaches the class, or the
approval of the dean of the particular
college.

Gymnastics in the gym? No, but people will bend over backwards if necessary to
fill out their schedules.

Studying:
Lessons in
Self-discipline

Procrastination is the
enemy that leads to
the trap of
all-nighters, caffeine
and sugar attacks.
Begging the professor
to put the test off only
heightens anxiety
levels. Withdrawals
from all-nighters take
place until the grade
is given. Over and
over the notion rolls,
"I won't procrastinate
next time."

I '.

• I

As freshmen, students are advised to
study two hours for every hour spent in
class. Eager freshmen take these words
to heart, and for the first few weeks of
their college career, do study and study
hard. But soon, they realize that three
hours is a lot of time to spend on a
volleyball course. They curtail their
volleyball studies happily and with no ill
effects on their grade. Rationalizing that
what is good for gym must be good for
other areas, they neglect their studies
completely. And suddenly, the
bewildered student, still seeing his
Physics test slashed in red on the back
of closed eyelids, realizes that in order
to make good grades, he must study.

Most students find a happy medium
between studying and not studying by
procrastinating. Procrastinators usually
find themselves the night before a test

fortified with buckets of coffee and an
armload of borrowed notes trying to
assimilate a month's worth of lectures
and readings in the space of a few
hours. The dreaded all-nighter is like a
hangover. During the ordeal, students
with bleary eyes and shaky hands, curse
their bacchanalian excesses of
procrastination and vow never to repeat
the scene. But when test time rolls
around again, there they are, time
running out, with coffee, notes, and
bitter words.

After four years of all-nighters, a
student may look back and give assent
to those freshman year's words of
wisdom about studying. But more than
likely, he'll be remembering the great
times he had not studying and
wondering who really needed Physics
anyway.

Classes:

Variety

Equals Enjoyment

From the packed lecture
hall to the involving
seminar, ASU's classroom
variety greatly enhances
the student experience,
and makes for an education
that is both exciting and
fulfilling.

ASU is exceptional among colleges
in that its size allows for a wide variety
of classroom situations. Classrooms form
the nucleus of the academic experience
here at ASU. Scheduling and size,
together with student-teacher relations
help make the experience either
rewarding or intolerable.

Classes are offered throughout the
day. The eight o'clock ones, shunned by
most civilized students, free up afternoon
hours for those individuals who have
other responsibilities. But, according to
Rich Lange, a freshman, they "are a
mistake. Late night activities and early
morning classes don't mix." For students
who like to sleep late or those who
demand the luxuries of a shower and
leisurely breakfast, afternoon classes are
a welcome alternative.

Class size at ASU ranges from large
lectures to smaller more intimate
seminars. Size reflects directly upon the
students' performance. Some students
prefer the impersonal aspects of the
auditorium while others thrive in classes
of nine or ten. "Once you get into your
major, the classes are smaller and the
instruction is more intense," says Tom
Bronson, a sophomore from Charlotte. "I
learn more in the smaller classes."

The opportunity for the student to
come into close contact with a professor
is perhaps the most important
experience class has to offer. Ideas and
doubts are exchanged, and a fuller
understanding of the subject matter is to
be gained from the interaction.

"I am sure that the typical
experience of a student at a large
university involves participating in a
series of large, lecture-style classes," says
Dr. Jim Winders, an ASU history
professor. "I feel people learn more from
seminar-style discussions where a
give-and-take atmosphere exists. I believe
that every college curriculum ought to
ensure that students encounter this type
of learning environment, at least
occasionally, as they pursue their
degrees. That is why I like to divide
large classes up into small discussion
groups. People participate in a less
anonymous atmosphere and learn more
as a result. It also, I hope, helps to
dispell the notion that the professor is
the only source of knowledge in the
classroom."

Individuals have a need to be
recognized as both a student and a
person. Classes at ASU are unique in
that they allow the student to be both.

No matter what sex, lifestyle,
background or financial status, all ASU
students have one thing in common: each
has to choose a major. For some it's easy,
for most it's sheer treachery, a decision
full of false starts, indecision, and
soul-searching.

The process of choosing a major is
as varied and diverse as the students
who engage in it. A few — a precious few
— know exactly what they want to major
in. They emerge from the womb with a
resolute cry of, "I want to be a GEOLOGY
MAJOR!" or something like that. Their
youth is spent in realizing this goal,
and once enrolled they set about the
task with a determination not often seen
in a college student. These are the
minority, however. And sadly, they are
often misunderstood and frequently hated
by the majority of students who haven't
the foggiest idea of what to major in or
even why they are here in the first
place.

The bulk of students enter ASU
wide-eyed and tingling with the excite-
ment of new challenges. But where to
start? General College provides the
hungry student with a sampling of acade-

mia's rich offerings. Like a greedy
child pawing a box of chocolates, the
student can pick and choose the classes
that might sate his academic sweet tooth.
Some, not having a taste for it, get
sick and drop out. Most, though, find a
favorite sweet, be it math or music, and
move on to the more substantial fare a
discipline has to offer.

A few scholarly gluttons are never
satisfied. They swallow college whole —
soup to nuts — gorging themselves with a
haphazard feast of classes. When they do
finally graduate, they have earned four
or five majors, a host of minors, and a
three page diploma stapled together in
one corner.

After the goal is reached, the
degree earned, the student steps out to
become a working member of society.
Unfortunately, the class of 1984 faces
the worst job market since World War IL
Analysts say that most students will not
find jobs in fields their majors
prepared them for in college. Hope-
fully, college not only produced
scholars, but mature, responsible adults
capable of overcoming such pitfalls
encountered in life.

JOURNEY

Leaving
a Long
Slumber

The black gown hangs Hmp against my
knees. My mortarboard wobbles unsure on
my head. The tassle swings against my
ear.

The May sun shines warm on my
cheeks. The sky is clear and so blue, I
can't imagine ever seeing such a gorgeous
day. Why can't I be happy about my
college graduation?

I look around at my friends. Each
looks so happy and so carefree. We have
been friends for so long, and soon we
will be graduates. Why aren't they sad?
How can they only be concerned with their
hair?

"Like, how does my hair look in the
back?"

Sounds blend in and out of my mind.
We are waiting to go into the gym and
begin the processional, and soon it will
be over. I look around at the others
here. Talking, laughing, they act as if
they were going to a party. Mirrors,
brushes, lipstick, combs, hairpins.

"You look fine, fine. Everyone looks
fine."

I think back on the years that we
have spent here, making popcorn, having
waterfights, swapping clothes, sort of
like a big slumber party. I can't seem
to remember any bad times, though I'm
sure there have been plenty. But they're
not here today.

And what about the time we all went
to the Rock to find that party and got
lost and the car got stuck in the ice
and the Blowing Rock police picked us up
after we had wandered for about two
hours in the snow? Were we really that
far from the car?

And that time when we went to the
East Tennessee game and sat together and
smuggled that flask in with 151 in it
and the sun made us more drunk and we
started laughing and couldn't stop.
What was so funny?
146

"Line up, make a line
here, Arts and
Sciences over here,
Fine Arts here,
Business here.
Education here, Grad
students right here . . .
it's time to get this
show on the road . . ."

Party

Will we ever remember what it was?

And that time we covered the RA's
door with newspaper and then called her
and said someone had fallen down the
steps and blood was everywhere and she
came running out of her door, crashing
head on with all the newspaper and tape
and fell on the floor? Why didn't she
laugh as hard as we did? Why didn't she
laugh at all?

And what about that time we all went
to my house for the weekend and ate and
ate and slept late on Saturday and went
downtown and had our hair cornrowed at
that beauty parlor? I still remember my
mom's face when she came to the door to
let us in. Shock. Mouth hanging open,
eyes staring in disbelief. She thought
we had joined the Hare Krishnas and knew
our hair would never be normal again,
never fluffy, never curly, never.

Today, on this brilliant Sunday
afternoon in May, our hair is normal,
fluffy, curly. My friends are very con-
cerned with their hair . . . maybe they're
just nervous. Maybe they don't realize
that things will never be the same,
that we'll have to make an effort to
see each other now, that the slumber
party is over and it's time to go home.
It's time now to leave the slumber party
and get on with the rest of our lives.

"Line up, make a line here. Arts and
Sciences over here, Fine Arts here. Bus-
iness here, Education here, Grad stu-
dents right here . . . it's time to get this
show on the road," a voice booms over
the chatter and hubbub. We obey the
voice and separate into our colleges. I
look up at the person who is directing
us into the gym. He looks a little like
the policeman who stopped us in Blowing
Rock when we were lost and our car was
stuck in the ice. I wonder if my friends
will notice the resemblance.

Knowing

Limits;

a Perspective

"I am a morning
person. I get up early
and have my *up' time
then; I am in the
office at 6:15 a.m. so
that I can spend
several hours planning
the day and spending
time alone."

Dr. Thomas, who is up every
morning at 5:30 a.m., credits most of the
success he has had to reahzing the
Hmits of his biological clock.

"I am a morning person. I get up
early and have my 'up' time then. I am
in the office by 6:15 a.m. so that I can
spend several hours planning the day
and spending time alone before the rush
begins and the telephones start ringing.
In this time, I become completely at
peace with myself. I read and write
down ideas that I will have to mention
in the day's meetings. It's my time.

Some advice for the student? Dr.
Thomas suggests that a student learn
about his own biological clock. Not
everyone can be up and ready to go at
8:00 a.m., so we should try to plan
schedules accordingly. Knowing this, we
can best utilize our day if we block it
into hourly time sections, writing in the
times that we are busy with classes.
This way we can learn to really use our
free time to our advantage.

Motivation

By glancing over Dr. Thomas' Hsts
of achievements and recognitions, we
know that he is a highly motivated man.
His self-motivation is what has brought
him to where he is today. Having a
full-time job in sales during the day
when he just started out, John Thomas
had the ambition to try harder. To
accomplish this, he attended night school
to earn enough credits to become an
attorney. After this, he was hired by the
Space Administration and went into
teaching, at which time he decided to
earn a doctorate. This kind of ambition
is sometimes rare for many of us. We
think that we are beaten before the
match begins.

Dr. Thomas understands the times
that students today are having to
conquer. His suggestion to us is that we
take time out to relax now and then but
use the relaxation time to its maximal
amount by spending the time planning
ahead. In order to do this properly, we
must be realistic about our time
perceptions. We must survive the slumps
and keep looking up and on.

Career Decisions

Speaking from experience, Dr.
Thomas says, "Your first career is not
your last. You have so many options
that you didn't know about, especially
women, that it's hard to imagine
specializing on a bachelor's level."

Knowing that each student has a
different world view, he comments on
the importance of the Career and
Placement Center. Using the resources, a
student may find a completely different,
exciting alternative to a 'one-way' job.
Dr. Thomas cannot stress enough about
the necessity of using the Career and
Placement Center. It's vital to have this
edge in today's job market situation.

Family — Leaving the Nest

Again, this has a lot to do with
world views, says Dr. Thomas. Some
students make the adjustment to college
easier than others, it all has to do with
maturity and their level of advancement.

Dr. Thomas says the main thing is
to

"make it (any adjustment) a positive
thing. Use the break times and holidays
as reinforcements, and make sure that
you limit yourself to these infrequent
visits home or you will not learn about
your new environment, make new friends
or cut off those apron strings."

SYMPOSIUM

MAKING CHOICES

Like a painter choosing the colors, shades and hues from
I palette, as students, we, too, choose the various classes,
Dfessors, concerts, lectures, books, groups, friends, etc., that
play into the painting of who we are.

We enter the university with high expectations, many of
lich are altered by the realities around us. Life seems
idenly different from the 'back-home' environment,
cisions are no longer made for us - we are thrust into
uations of sink or swim, and rarely is the lifeguard waiting
save us. We skip class or decide to forego an evening lecture,
d it may or may not have a lasting effect, but when tens
hundreds of these little decisions mount after four or more
irs of college, they could take their toll.

Talking over one cup of coffee with a foreign student may
ve lasting impressions on us. Viewing a classic film on
nday night in Farthing, or nabbing the professor after class
express our gut feelings, daring to write a letter to the
ipalachian Editor in expression of those feelings that have
rred for months, playing club football when the varsity coach
)ught us to be klutzes, giving a stab at theatre, learning to
ly the dulcimer while in the Appalachia region, taking an
ter-six' class, talking folk art, music, or crafts, with a Watauga
unty native in Boone Drug. The hst mounts, especially when

consider what the mountains have to offer. What about
rning to rappel or canoe, and best of all taking your
istrations out over a long hike in the woods? Those obscure
iking posters that tell of odd and fascinating classes offered
st semester, well they are a must for inquiry. Of course, we
lid burn out running from one activity to the next, spreading
rselves too thin, but the other extreme is even more vicious:
ining for the Bachelor's degree without recognition for the
portance of these various activities.

Ten years later, we may not remember the facts from
story 1101, but debating with a professor on Marx or Freud
lid play a crucial role in training our thinking patterns.

Yes, it's invaluable to focus energies and attentions, but
en it means blinding ourselves to other experiences in the

environment around us, then it could be detrimental.

We are living in a global village, where Lebanon is brought
to us via the T.V., but we ask why history is important, or we
question the reasons for learning a foreign language, such as
Spanish, when Nicaragua is at our door.

We are pressured from all sides to be the envied executive.
We specialize in order to carve a niche for ourselves (no matter
the cost). We lose ourselves in the shuffle of interviews,
job-hunting, and degree-seeking. Do we possibly lose sight of
the world at large and who we are in this race?

We live in a materialistic society where value implies
money, careers are chosen contingent on salary, and degree
implies education.

Being caught up in a differential equation, stumped on an
accounting problem or confused by the essays of Emerson can
cause pain in the learning process. It may be that we lessen
the pain by haphazardly completing the assignment, instead of
thinking through the problems.

Like the various shades of color on a painter's palette, we
have the ability to choose the different areas of study that will
shade or highlight our particular field of interest.

Education is thinking, exploring, imaging, discussing, and
painfully grasping the issues that comprise who we are.
Education should not be the dirge of the 'required.' It is a
delicate balance of the essential, without which we lose sight
of who we are.

As these few pages reveal, academics is not the 'stuff-shirt'
image, but instead should be seen as the interaction of real
humans in thinking, experiencing, and creating history. It is
connecting with great minds of the past, and anticipating their
philosophies for the future.

Academics may be deemed a 'dry area', but with a close
look, we are bound to discover the array of colors it has to offer
each individual. When looked at as parts to a whole, instead
of isolated pieces, we may hit upon a discovery never imagined.

GENERAL COLLEGE

DIG DECISIONS

When a student enters
college as a freshman, he
or she may know exactly in
what to major. A handful
of freshman enter Appala-
chian with an exact idea of
what will become their life-
work.

But this is only a hand-
ful. The majority of fresh-
men who know what area in
which to major usually
change their minds, if only
a change within a disci-
pline, such as entering as
a potential elementary edu-
cation major and then declar-
ing an early childhood
education major.

This is reason enough
for General Education
requirements. For those
who entered college comple-
tely undecided, as well as
for those who had a basic
idea, General Education

offers varied courses with-
in several disciplines to
choose. Students at Appala-
chian can learn about dif-
ferent departments and
their own capabilities as
well as get a well-rounded
education.

We spend a great deal of
time choosing a major, and
in some ways it does not
matter. The current job
situation looks pretty
bleary, with little to
look forward to. The
main thing, we are told, is
that we major in something
which we enjoy. The ration-
ale behind this? With jobs
so scarce, we will likely
be taking jobs only slightly
related to our fields of
interest - just to have a
job. You have to do what
is necessary in order to
survive.

Keeping track of the records in General College is a tedious job for Laura
Page.

DIVERSE DUTIES

When you hear the name
General College, you imme-
diately may think of ad-
vising. Some of you may
hear "General College" and
think of the grind of meet-
ing the General Education
requirements. After reading
this, however, you may
think of the General Col-
lege office in a different
way.

For instance, you prob-
ably did not know that the
General College is respon-
sible for the administra-
tion of programs such as
University Honors, Admis-
sions Partnership Program,

Bachelor of Technology
Program, Upward Bound,
Special Services, Develop-
mental Education and Inter-
disciplinary Studies which
includes Watauga College,
General Honors, the General
Studies Program, and the
Earth Studies Program.
As far as advisement, the
General College program of
academic advising provides
services for students dur-
ing their first two years
of college life. Advisors
are usually drawn from the
academic faculties. But

quirements.

We all know what General
allege requirements consist
', but do we know why they
e so important?
Virginia Foxx, Assistant
ean of the General College,
IS stressed many times in
le past, "Gen. Ed. require-
ents are essential in find-
g out about the different
)urses available to you.
[any students who come to
ppalachian undecided on a

major usually receive their
ideas for a major based on
a course trying to fulfill
course requirements."

These requirements com-
prise approximately one-third
of the total credit in all
bachelor's degree programs.
The requirements can be com-
pleted at any time prior to
graduation, except English
1000-1100, which must be
completed during the first
year. Students are encour-
aged to spread general edu-
cation courses throughout
their undergraduate
curriculum rather than con-
centrate them all in the
first two years.

MEMORABLE COURSES

Which courses did you
most remember in General
College other than your
major?

Marie Poe, a junior from
Boone majoring in Computer
Science: "Racquetball and
Weight-training in P.E.
It's good to take courses
that you don't have exper-
ience in, rather than
taking ones that you do.
It's good to learn new
things."

Johnny Hendrix, a senior
from Lenoir majoring in
Accounting: "I don't have
anything good or bad to say
about General College. I am
in Intro, to Theatre and I
don't mind it. Some courses
are a waste of time, but
some are okay."

Karen Sanders, a junior
from Ronda majoring in Com-
puter Science: "Probably

the most memorable course
I took in General College
was English 1000 with Dr.
Hurley. We rarely had form-
al class and were able to
work independently. We kept
a journal of our thoughts
and daily encounters, which
Dr. Hurley read and com-
mented on."

Trudy Moss, a senior
from Boone majoring in
Educational Media: "By far
the most memorable course
in my General College cur-
riculum had to have been
Ed Pilkington's Intro, to
Theatre class. It was one
of the few courses I've
ever taken where I actually
looked forward to attending.
Mr. Pilkington put so much
enthusiasm in his class
that we were all feeling
good when we left each day.
I wish there were more
enthusiastic professors
like Mr. Pilkington."

PAST REPUTATIONS

"What the heck is Watauga
College?"

"Oh, yeah. I know. It's
that bunch of granolas
over in East. They're the
ones who wear sandals when
it snows."

"Does that mean that their
diploma says 'Watauga Col-
lege' instead of 'Appala-
chian State University'?"
"No, that means they get
no diplomas. They don't
give a diploma for dope
smoking. "

- Actual Conversation

in Sanford Hall

To read this small ex-
cerpt from a conversation,
you'd never believe that
these ideas are held by
students at a fine insti-
tution of higher learning
such as Appalachian. This
is an example of "Ignorance
of the Unknown," a plague
which has directly influ-
enced all students in
Watauga College.

So what is Watauga Col-
lege? It's an on-campus
residential program which
offers interdisciplinary
course work for freshmen
and sophomores. These stu-
dents take special Watauga
College courses in lieu of
general education require-
ments in English, the
Humanities, and the Social
Sciences. Courses such as
Mathematics, Physical
Education and the Sciences
are taken through the
regular curriculum, as are
major-related courses.
Students live together

in East to permit emphasis
on integrating the academic
program with student's
personal and social devel-
opment. Participation in
the Watauga College does
not exclude participation
in any other special pro-
gram at Appalachian.

According to Tommy Avery,
a Watauga College Student
and an R.A. in East Hall,
"Watauga is a special place,
where students know each
other and care very much
about each other. Living
together in East helps to
provide a better way to get
to know the people that you
know in class already."

In answering the second
question, it seems evident
that any graduate will have
"Appalachian State Univer-
sity" on their diploma.
Watauga College Students
are only different in their
first two years of the
curriculum, and in what
they reap from their time
in East Hall. That's just
about it.
- Amanda Foster

WORLD AWARENESS

The professors and stu-
dents at Watauga College
are committed to the prob-
lems that tangle our world.
This year they decided to
dedicate a series on moral
courage. Speakers and films
deal with issues concerning
fanaticism, nationalism, the
nuclear age, third world
poverty, etc. The students
definitely get involved.
- Babette Munn

;nse of community

"East has an exaggerated
eputation," said Greg
chneider, Resident
)irector of East Hall.
The people who gave it
hat reputation are long
one now. Only the name
i the same."

Greg has enjoyed his two
ears in East Hall, which
ouses Watauga College, the
iternational Hall, and Spe-
ial Services students.
Istablished in 1972, Wa-
luga College is a living/
;arning experience for
•eshmen and sophomores,
'he students live and take
lasses in East and, as a
3sult, become much like a
ig family. Since many
ike the same courses, they
ave tests and papers due
n the same days. Studying
5nds to be communal and
jpportive rather than
idividual. The coed halls
nhance the family atmos-
here, where the social
seling is more of a broth-
r and sister relationship
lan a dating one.

Students interested in
)reign cultures live on
le International Hall. Of
le 30 to 40 students on
le hall, 10 to 15 are
)reign. A knowledge of
ifferent cultures is pro-
ded by various activities
id the fact that people
om different backgrounds
^VQ together in a close
iwironment.

The Special Services
ill is designed for stu-
jnts who need academic
laistance. They receive

tutoring, special classes,
and counseling. In addition,
there are cultural and edu-
cational activities: social
events as well as trips to
Washington and New York.

Although there are three
separate groups in East
Hall, everyone shares a
sense of community. "It is
evident that people care
about each other within
East. You know you have a
good rapport with people
in the building because you
see each other everyday.
People know when you have
a good day and they share
it with you. Bad days are
shared too, people care
here," said Greg Schneider.

Because East offers some-
thing different from the
usual college experience,
it often attracts non-
conformists. It is often
misunderstood, and its
reputation has been based
on misconceptions instead
of accurate knowledge. Greg
frequently gets sympathetic
looks from others when they
hear that he lives in East.
He has this to say: "Most
of the people who have the
most to say about East have
never been inside the build-
ing. I have only this advice
to them: Don't prejudge us.
First come in and see for
yourself, then decide."

"We are not primarily
put on this earth to
see through one
another, but to see one
another through."

STUDYING
MOTHER EARTH

Earth Studies is probably
the most misunderstood pro-
gram at Appalachian State
University. There are many
students and even faculty
members here at ASU that
don't even know what the
program entails. Red Alder-
man, the coordinator of
the program said, "We teach
a philosophy that man is a
part of the world and he
must learn to live with it,
not dominate it."

Earth Studies began sever-
al years ago at ASU as an
experimental program. It
has now been institutional-
ized by the university un-
der the name of Appropriate
Technology. The program has
six major core concerns:
Eco-Consciousness or Earth
Ethics, Communication, Re-
newable Energy Sources,
Bio-regional Adaptation,
Biological Agriculture and
Aquaculture, and Shelter.
Some of these areas are
concerned with teaching the
program's philosophy and
others are concerned with
technologies that will

SYMPOSIUM

UNIVERSITY STUDIES

enable man to live ecolo-
gically sound lifestyles.
The fact that the program
is misunderstood inevitably
leads to negative reac-
tions. The label "Earth
Person" carries with it a
picture of individuals left
over from the 1960's hippy
era. The truth is that
"Earth People" are only
trying to work with the
flow of our environment
instead of trying to change
it. Red Alderman said,
"People involved in the
program are diligently
searching for ways to adapt
to our natural limitations.
Our culture uses energy to
over-ride the natural sys-
tem. We'd like culture to
adapt to some greater har-
mony with the natural sys-
tem."

Becky Wellborne who is a
graduating major in Earth
Studies and has a minor in
Biology said, "People think
Earth Studies is just some
silly college degree. It is
an excellent degree, and it
is not an easy major. Earth
Studies is a thing of now
and of our future. It is
both important and neces-
sary." - Richard Schwartz

Red Alderman teaches that man and the earth are one.

Sally Hart takes Holistic Health for her major in Health Psychology.
HEALING BODY AND SOUL

Yoga, meditation, healing,
and nutrition are just
a few of the topics covered
in a new and unusual course
here at ASU. It is an Earth
Studies class called Holistic
Health and Nutrition
which is taught through the
Home Economics Depart-
ment.

Sally Hart, a junior
majoring in Health Psycho-
logy, defines Holistic
Health as "the mind, body,
and soul working together."
The emphasis of the class
is on self-improvement
through natural means.
Jack White, a senior in
the class says he took it
because, "I was looking for
ways to optimize my health,
and I wanted to be exposed
to as many natural alterna-
tives as possible."

The twenty-three students
enrolled in this class hear
from approximately fifteen
speakers during the semes-
ter. Students learn yoga
and meditation and are ex-
posed to a host of lesser-
known forms of Holistic
Health as well. Students
learn about laying on of

hands as an approach to
healing. J.T. Garrett,
Ph.D., informs the class
on his success in inte-
grating traditional and
Indian medicine at the
Cherokee Indian Hospital.
The Holistic approach to
cookery is taught with
emphasis on the "we are
what we eat" attitude.
Students are also exposed
to Kirlian Photography
which is a means of mea-
suring the energy produced
by the human body.

Ms. Koons realizes the
unusual content of her
class. "Holistic Health is
not traditional. People
don't understand and
they're afraid of it." The
emphasis of this class is
on health from within. A
back-to-basics approach is
taken and healing through
mental and physical means 5
are stressed.

Holistic Health
provides us with an alter-
native to this process.
As Ms. Koon says, "People
are beginning to focus on
prevention instead of
treatment. I believe this
is becoming the way of the
future." - Cathy Stuart

COLLEGE OF
ARTS AND SCIENCES

Dr. Bill Strickland, 16 year veteran
s Dean of the College of Fine and

fthis year. Here are some of his thoughts
n liberal education and his hopes for
iSU in the future.

RHODODENDRON: What changes
lave you seen over the years at ASU and
specially in the College of Arts and
Icience?

)r. Strickland: Well, when I first came,
came as the Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Philosophy and Rehgion, and we
.idn't have any colleges; it was Appala-
hian State Teachers College - one
dministrative unit. In 1967 we reorgan-
zed and formed the General College,
/ollege of Arts and Science, the College
if Fine and Applied Arts, and the College
if Education. I became Dean of the new
'ollege of Arts and Science on July 1,
968. I saw the beginning of the College
nd have been Dean for sixteen years
ince. We have grown in terms of faculty
nd majors.

IHODODENDRON: ASU is seen
trimarily as a liberal arts school. What do

ion of any education, even professional
iducation. Professional education ought
o be added on top of the general/liberal
bundation, the study of language, for

any special education.
RHODODENDRON: The distinction of
having a college degree is not what it once
was. What is the personal value of a
college degree?

Dr. Strickland: It acquaints the human
being with the achievements of the
human family, and I think that is of
paramount significance. It avoids isola-
tion; it avoids provincialism, and it relates
persons to their history, their culture, and
their language.

RHODODENDRON: What are the
employment possibilities for liberal arts
graduates?

Dr. Strickland: Many students that take
a degree in Athropology, English,
Sociology, Philosophy and Religion will
go on and add some professional training
and take jobs in specialized areas. Others
will simply continue work in their
discipline and become college professors
or whatever. Many, without much
professional training, will become profes-
sionals in certain areas. They may work
for the government, for example.
RHODODENDRON: Are the hard
sciences growing faster than some of the
other departments like English or Foreign
Language, for example?
Dr. Stickland: Physics is growing a bit
faster than some of the others. Mathema-
tics, especially with Computer Science, is
growing. Our enrollments, though, have
held fairly stable in all the sciences.
RHODODENDRON: What do you hope
to see in the future for ASU and the
College of Arts and Science?
Dr. Strickland: I hope that we will be
able to maintain our enrollments and that
any student that comes here will be able
to receive the quality of education that
one should expect, that one will be able
to evaluate human life and experience in
a creative and ennobling fashion. That's
what I believe education is about, not just
preparation for jobs. That's not the
essential purpose of a university.

EXPLORING CULTURES
THROUGH FIELD WORK

The Anthropology De-
partment offers a variety
of interesting activities
during the summer. Students
can take advantage of a
field school every other
summer. Six credit hours
can be earned in the five
to six week session. This
summer, students will study
in Florida along with the
University of West Florida
at Pensacola.

The field school is im-
portant in that it opens
many job opportunities. The

Dr. Harvard Ayers

new Environmental Impact
Statement requires that
anyone wanting to build
must submit a written
statement which explains
how their construction will
alter the land and effect
the environment. Students
who attend the field school
will be qualified to per-
form the assessments
necessary for such a
written statement.

The first part of the
field school will be spent
looking for digging sites.
The sites to be explored
date back to 3000 B.C.
Finding prehistoric sites
will be of particular in-
terest. With test excava-
tions and lab work, the
life styles of past civili-
zations can be better un-
derstood.

The field work is de-
signed for people with lit-
tle or no experience in
archaeology. Cheryl Claas-
sen, a past participant,
commented that archaeology

"is an interesting field,
and it gives a good back-
ground for any major. The
course offers a un-
ique understanding. Often it is
assumed that other cultures
see and do everything our
way when in fact they have
their own way which seems
right for them. This area
of study makes us more a-
ware of the poeple around
us and their feelings and
ideas. We could all stand
to gain a better under-
standing of our fellow

THE NEWPORT PROGRAM

The Department of His-
tory's Newport Program
sounds like a dream come
true. The Newport Program
is now entering its fourth
year, and it has expanded
to include not only grad-
uate and undergraduate
students, but adult learn-
ers as well.

The Newport Program is a
four week summer session
in Newport, Rhode Island.
The program is made possi-
ble by cooperation with
Salve Regina: The Newport
College. Students can take
courses in History, English
and Math or they may even
design their own indepen-
dent study.

Students rave over sum-
mers spent in Newport. Su-
san Harrington said, "It
was an 'on hands' experi-
ence and that made learning
a lot of fun." Carey Nier-

The Newport Program cer-
tainly offers students an
action-packed summer, while
still providing a relaxed
environment for learning.
Newport was founded in
1636, so students studying
Colonial History or Early
American Literature are
able to learn in the set-

surely consider studying
in Newport. Newport offers
many unusual things that
are unavailable elsewhere.

SOCIOLOGY AIDS
ANY DEGREE

Sociology was at one time
the tji)ical liberal arts
degree that led to a no-
where job. In recent years,
however, more applied as-
pects have been developed
allowing for concentrations
in other areas of studies.
Here at Appalachian State
University, the Sociology
Department is more like a
service department for
other disciplines and
majors.

Dr. Denton, head of the
Sociology Department, com-
mented that, "the Sociology
Department here at Appala-
chian State University
cooperates with other de-
partments much more freely
than some colleges." A
number of required courses
in Sociology are included

"There are very few jobs
on the market today that
call for a specific soci-

Denton. He said that a de-
gree in sociology with a
good minor and a goal ori-
ented program, which can be
played up in your resume,
is what business is looking
for.

"Industry today is em-
ploying college graduates
with solid liberal arts
backgrounds for training
in lower and middle man-
agement programs," said
Dr. Denton.

Frequently, sociology is
studied as a prep course to
help students in communi-
cations. Afterward, the
student will go on to grad-
uate school or into law,
ministry, or even sales
management. Here at Appa-
lachian there are many
minors taken in sociology,

Psychology majors gen-

psychological research
course sometime during
their college career. One
such course, 'Applied Re-

by Dr. Paul Fox, teaches
basic research design
through applied settings.
"The course is meant for

all psychology majors,

Students, for some
reason, sometimes fear the
class. Dr. Fox said that to
alleviate this fear he
tries to make the course as
interesting as possible. "I

A NEW HOME
FOR PHILOSOPHY

A major accomplishment
of the Philosophy and Reli-
gion Department was its
move to I.G. Greer in Nov-
ember. Emerging from the
cramped quarters in Sanford
Hall, which at that time
housed four separate de-
partments, the department
now has much more space in
which to function.

Department head Dr.
Alan Hauser cites the fac-
ulty offices as being much
nicer, calling the old ones
"tiny and very, very diffi-
cult to work in." The avail-
ability of more classroom
space is also a positive
feature.

This year the depart-
ment catered to approximate-
ly twenty five majors. Hau-
ser stated that the job
outlook for these majors
is good, due in part to an
increased awareness in bus-
iness and industry as to
the advantages of hiring a

philosophy major. He ex-
plained that these advan-
tages include the students'
ability to think, write,
and verbally communicate in
a clear manner and that
they are flexible enough to
learn, perform, and adapt
to a variety of tasks. "Our
majors do an excellent
job," he said.

The primary task of
the department, however, is
to aid students in meeting
General Education requir-
ements.

With the emphasis of
higher education returning
to the liberal arts, his
department is more "criti-
cal to the whole spectrum"
of a college education. He
claimed, "Students tend to
come away from classes in
their major with a much
broader education" as a re-
sult of having participated
in philosophy or religion
class.

As Chairman, Dr. Hau-
ser is proud of the out-

standing record his faculty
has in the fields of research
and publication. He
said that this "spills back
into the classroom" and
makes for "better, more in-
teresting teaching."

When asked to charac-
terize the philosophical
outlook of ASU students,
Hauser stated that a wide
variety of attitudes ex-
ists. He also said that
there is a strong interest
in issues that is confirmed
by the large number of stu-
dents that enroll in "Reli-
gions of the World" and
"Introduction to Philoso-
phy". Often students take
these courses for general
education and then find
the department so interest-
ing that they major in it.
Obviously, the students'
spiritual and philosophical
curiosities are well
met here at Appalachian
State.

DEVELOPMENTS

The study of English
is more than hum-drum lit-
erary lectures and stuffy
grammatical rules. The De-
partment of English here
at ASU strives to provide
students with study pro-
grams which are refreshing
and practical.

In an effort to help
English majors become more
competitive in the market-
place, the Department has
acquired twenty Commodore
64 computers. Dr. Melissa
Barth, instructor of prac-
tical and technical writ-
ing, said, "All businesses
are using word processors
now. It is a skill people
have to have."

Unlike other com-
puting centers on campus,
this one will concentrate
on building writing skills.

In addition to the new
computers, the Department

of English also took part
in travel to New England.
Several students traveled
to Salve Regina, a college
in Newport, Rhode Island
last summer. They studied
courses in math, history,
and of course, English dur-
ing the four week program.

Aside from computers
and travel, the Department
is also involved in putting
out four different publi-
cations: The North Caro-
lina Folklore Journal; a
University literary maga-
zine. The Cold Mountain Re-

view; the Appalachian Arts
magazine; and a monthly de-
partmental newsletter. The
English Times. These pro-
jects are important in that
they inform and entertain
readers and give students
of English the opportunity
to gain practical experi-
ence in the field of pub-
lishing.

The New Inklings Club
was developed this year.
The club was designed pri-
marily for English majors
but is open to anyone who
is interested. Its members
participate in poetry and
prose workshops twice a
month which focus on build-
ing writing skills. Stu-
dents share their work
with one another and in
this way receive valuable
input from their peers.

English, then, is not
as stagnant as one might
think. Instead, it's an
ever evolving, up to date
department.

Changes are being made in
the Mathematics Department
in the area of Computer
Science. The present compu-

graded; more terminals,
more mini-computers, and
several micro-computers are
being added to. the present
system.

"This growing area is
trying to keep up with the
student demand and contin-
ue to supply the quahty
noted of the ASU Mathema-
tics Department," noted Dr.
Arnold McEntire. The inter-
est in micro-computers is
reflected in the number of
students taking the provid-
ed courses. New courses are
being constructed and are
aimed at teaching computers
in a comprehensive way.

The classes within the
department consist of a lot
of lab activities. "In lab

we are glad to see students
helping each other," says
Dr. McEntire. "It makes
life easier in tough
courses when students help
each other," added Dr. Mc-
Entire.

Stan Banner, a Computer
Science major, calls the
major "challenging." Stan
says, "the future is ex-
citing and challenging in
this field." Dan Sweeny,
also a Computer Science
major, sees the departmen-
tal programs as being of
high quality. "ASU has an
excellent department with
a very bright future.
There is a need for more
equipment and professors
if they are going to keep
up the quality."

Dr. McEntire stated,
"Opportunities for jobs
have been very good with
graduates receiving top of
the line salaries. But it
cannot be predicted how
long this will hold up in
our area. The demand for

employees in our immediate
area may decrease. Graduates
may have to move
further away from home than
expected."

The uses of this expand-
ing department are many.
The skills taught include
problem solving, computer
language, architecture of
computers, and computer
applications. All this is
offered to students as an
attempt to provide grad-
uates with practical skills
and keep them in step with
the changing needs of
society. - Doreen Heath

large enough to show a half

shipmen) a physical principle.

Since he started ASU's
Physics Department, Dr.
Connolly has been invited
to give papers and speak
all over the nation. He
said, "The interest in de-
monstrations is growing
nationwide. If you show
people demonstrations they
will remember the princi-
ples much longer than by
telling them." In 1979, he
was asked what he
deemed his favorite demon-
stration at the National
Convention of Physics
Teachers. His choice 'The
Optical Cheshire Cat', came
to fruition through the aid
of Lewis Carroll's Alice in
Wonderland and an
experiment done by Dr.
Tom Rokoske with a water
dropper filled with anisole.

The speed of light is the
same in anisole as in the
glass of a dropper. Filling
the center of the dropper
with anisole, the light
doesn't know if it's glass or
anisole, thus disappearing.
Using this concept and the
tale of the disappearing cat
in Alice In Wonderland, Dr.
Connolly created a figure of
a cat on glass that
disappears when immersed
in liquid anisole.

Dr. Connolly commented
on the influx of demonstra-
tions into classrooms in
the '30's and '40's and
said there was a decrease
in the late '50's and late
'60's. But the use of de-
monstrations in revealing
physical phenomena is again
on the rise and Dr. Walter
Connolly is right in the
forefront, helping to spur
students' imaginations
and increase their under-
standing of the physical
world.

EXPERIENCES IN
CHEMICAL RESEARCH

The field of chemical
research calls for a widely
diversified and crucial
amount of practical exper-
ience. The more experience
that can be acquired, the
better one's job opportuni-
ties after graduation. Pro-
fessors in the Chemistry
Department here at ASU re-
cognize this need for prac-
tical experience and so de-
veloped a number of courses
in which Chemistry majors
can gain this experience.
There are currently three
classes designed to promote
practical chemical re-
search: "Introduction to
Chemical Research", "Semi-
nar", and "Senior Re-
search". The courses are
taught by Dr. Thomas Rhyne
of the Graduate School.

The first class in the
series teaches the student
how to conduct research on
topics in Chemistry. The

search through volumes of
chemical documentation to
find reports and other in-
formation vital to their
research. After gathering
and sorting this informa-
tion, each student presents
his data to the class.

In the second course,
each student selects his
own topic for research,
and does literary and
experimental work. After
having put the accumu-
lated data together, the
students give another pre-
sentation to the class.

Dr. Rhyne said, "The main
goal of the course is to
show the students the im-
portance of literary re-
search as well as the chem-
ical side of it."

Senior Research, the
third and final course in

dent the opportunity to

member of the Chemistry De-
partment. "This really
gives each student the

our faculty posses," said
Rhyne.

structures vary according

sparks the interest of the
petroleum industries, be-
cause the findings aid in
the search for oil and gas
reserves. Economically
these studies will help to
save money by making these
petroleum reserves easier
to locate.

John Winn, a Geology
major, notes, "It is rare
that research is offered to
undergraduates, and that
the faculty encourages it
along with the willingness
of the faculty to help at
anytime. Those genuinely
interested get boosted
along by the faculty. For
any undergraduate it is a
"big deal" to be involved
in research, especially to
do some on his own. In
graduate school when it
comes time to do research
for a masters thesis, the
student will not find him-
self in such awe."

ilker College of Business majoring in
magement, Msirketing, Economics, Ac-
mting. Business Education, and Finance,

This year, in an effort to upgrade the

jspective majors must have completed 60
nester hours including English 1000,

Consequently, they lacked the fundamen-

is a definite quality in maintaining this
goal. (Students) don't realize how much
more they will learn if they stick to a
definite pattern," he said.

In addition to the changes in
admissions policy, the College of Business
has designed an 18 hour minor program.

The minor includes Economics 2030,
Accounting 2100, Management 3010,
Marketing 3010, Finance 3010, and an
additional course of the student's choice.
All 2000 level courses must be completed
before 3000 level classes are attempted.
Each department also offers its own
specialized minor.

Special programs are offered by the
College of Business to help the individual.
Night school is especially welcome to the
working student. Internships provide
valuable experience for the students
before they are turned out into the "Real
World".

With the special programs and raised
admission standards, the Walker College
of Business seeks to better prepare people
for all areas of the business world. "Our
business majors have done well in the
past, and the expectations remain stable
for the future," said Dr. EUedge.

EDUCATING TO MEET
INFORMATION DEMANDS

Business requires the
efficient flow of accurate
information. It also requires
a trained, dedicated
group of professionals
behind the scenes to teach
people how to keep the
information flowing. The
Department of Business
Education instructs students
in both aspects.

The Department is accre-
dited for graduate and
undergraduate studies. It
offers degrees in the areas
of Business Education with
teacher certification,
Distributive Education with
teacher certification,
Business Administration
with a major in Information
Systems, and Office Adminis-
tration. The Department
also offers a Master of
Arts degree in Business
Teacher Education.

MANAGING THE FLOW
OF BUSINESS DATA

The Information Systems
Program in the College of
Business has developed from
an individually designed
major into one which grad-
uates over 200 students
each year. The computer
program has been in oper-
ation for a decade. Dr.
Melvin Roy, Senior Advisor
to the program, describes
its development as one of
exponential but controlled
growth.

Presently, students in

the College of Business use
the computer facilities to
help solve accounting, eco-
nomic, and managerial prob-
lems. Students majoring in
Information Systems use
the computer to complete
projects in the areas of
COBOL applications, model-
ing simulation problems,
various management science
techniques, and date pro-
cessing activities. Faculty
members use the computer in
the classroom as well as in
their own statistical anal-
ysis of research data.

Computers have added to

the productivity and pro-
ficiency of both faculty
and students in the John
Walker College of Business.
Computers are a much mor
efficient way of storing
information than other
methods.

The terminal laboratory
for the College of Business
has recently been remodel-
ed. It contains 16 concen-
trated terminals in commu-
nication with the mainfram
UNIVAC 90/80 central pro
cessing unit via Appalnet,
the underground coaxial
cable communication systen
located in Whitener Hall.
The lab contains a remote
entry station enabling stu-
dents to direct hard-copy
output to Walker Hall fron
the mainframe unit. A
microcomputer lab contain-
ing DEC Rainbow 100
computers is also available
to students. These
microcomputers are also
connected to the UNIVAC
Appalnet.

PREPARING FOR THE
DIG ONE

Needless to say, Ac-
counting tests cause a
great deal of panic among
business students. Prepar-
ing for one usually entails
marathon cramming sessions
which frazzle the nerves of
even the most stalwart of
scholars.

An accounting major's
career begins innocently
enough, in the introductory
classes of Accounting 2200
and 2210. Here one gets his
first taste of the accoun-
tant's art. All business
majors are required to take
these classes, but few en-
joy them, and even fewer go
on to the upper-level
courses 3100 and 3110. It
is in these classes that
the diehards, those who
really want to become
accountants, are found. And
after these classes, what
next? Are they finished,
ready to embark on a life-
work in Accounting? No.

MONETARY MATTERS

With calculator In reach, a student

There is just one more ob-
stacle to overcome, the
horrendous CPA exam.

Of all the tests given
in college, the CPA exam
is the one most feared by
students. One must pass all
four sections of the test -
Theory, Practice, Auditing,
and Law - to qualify as a
Certified Public Accoun-
tant.

To help students pre-
pare for the exam, the
Accounting Department pro-

ponders an accounting test problem.

vides special review
classes. Dr. Ramond Larson
teaches such a class. In
it old CPA exam questions
are reviewed, and eight-
hour practice exams are
given in preparation for
the Big One. Dr. Larson
requires twenty-five hours
of out of class study
each week for the class.
"The main reasons people
fail the CPA is because
they lack confidence and
do not work hard enough,"

he said. "ASU has very
capable students. Some just
lack the necessary commit-
ment. They need time to
develop the commitment
needed to succeed in Ac-
counting."

"The professors here at
ASU are willing to work
with you, and they are very
helpful in preparing you
for the CPA," said Accoun-
ting major Eddie Leary.
And according to statis-
tics they do prepare them
well. The average for ASU
students who pass the test
are higher than both the
state and national figures.
Even so, the CPA exam takes
its toll. Almost 70% of the
participants fail at least
one section. But, if he
fails the first time, the
determined Accounting stu-
dent can take the test
again . . . and again y . .

Economics, the study of

THE STRUGGLE FOR
ECONOMIC INSIGHT

The honors class in Eco-
nomics is tough. Students
are only invited to enroll
if they have a 3.25 or
better GPA after their
freshman year. Not many
make the requirements
apparently; twelve students
took the course during the
fall and just four in the

spring. I tie class is meant
to be an alternative for
better students looking for
more of a challenge than
that offered in a normal
course.

Not just another lec-
ture, the class demands
hard work and creative
thought from the student.
Vast amounts of outside
reading is assigned along
with a short paper each
week. Consisting of three
to four pages, these papers
are the major part of the
work load. Dr. Larry

McRea, instructor for the
class said, "This is a
demanding work load. Yet,
these students are more
prepared in communication
skills."

The purpose of the
course is to get the stu-
dents to begin to write
and be able to handle tech-
nical material. Education
is, basically, the ability
to read and write clearly.
"It's not financially
possible, but it would be
ideal to make all students
learn to deal with reading
and writing about more
highly technical things.
At least the better stu-
dents are offered the op-
portunity to expand on
their learning," said Mc-
Rea. "I aim to get basic
economic principles across
along with reading and
writing skills concerning
more technical material."

HEALTH CARE
EXPANDS

Health Care Management,
a part of the College of
Business, offers training
for careers in the health
care industry. It is one
of few such programs in the
United States. The program
was funded jointly by the
Appalachian Regional Com-
mittee, the Kate B. Rey-
nolds Foundation, and
Appalachina State Univer-
sity in 1975. It now en-
rolls some 27 students.

The health care indus-
try is currently the lar-
gest in the country. This
program is designed to
train managers for posi-
tions in hospitals, ambu-
latory care facilities,
health maintenance organ-

izations, and major health
insurance carriers.

Students study standard
business courses with em-
phasis on courses in health
care topics. An internship
at a health care facility
is also required.

The department is grow-
ing. To enhance the curri-
culum, Dr. J. B. Hallan,
Director, hopes to begin
new courses in health eco-
nomics and health care
financing. He also wishes
to create a computer based
job placement center for
graduates of the program.

PROMOTING THE
GLOBAL MARKET

During the past year
interest in the field of
international business has
risen at ASU. With the
economy in recession, many
U.S. companies look to
exporting to compensate for
poor domestic sales. Ad-
vances in technology and
communications have drawn
the world together as a
market place. Also, the
stiff competition in to-
day's job market has en-
couraged students to look
for a distinctive twist to
add to their education that
will open doors in the
search for a rewarding
career.

These elements, coupled
with the desire to keep the
Walker College of Business
at the forefront in busi-
ness education, are the
motives behind the founding
of the International Busi-
ness Students' Association

(IBSA). This organization
unites students from the
various business disci-
plines in working toward
the common goal of promot-
ing international business.
In its first semester, the
ISBA hosted 4 guest
speakers, attended 5 meet-
ings of the Western Caro-
lina World Trade Club, and
conducted a highly success-
ful fund-raising project.
The project involved the
importing and selling of
hand-woven Christmas tree
ornaments from Columbia,
South America. These items
sold out and provided prac-
tical experience in the
field of importing.

The club is a new and
exciting advancement for
ASU, and the advantages are
going to prove numerous and
far-reaching. The world
of international business
is vast and the possi-
bilities are unlimited.

Because of the changes

COLLEGE OF FINE
AND APPLIED ARTS

Since 1968 Dr. Nicholas Erneston has
been Dean of the College of Fine and
Applied Arts. He has seen much change
ind looks forward to future developments
of the College including the creation of a
Fine Arts Center and making ASU the
iummer home of the North Carolina
Symphony.

RHODODENDRON: Dr. Erneston,
vhat is your background as an educator?
Dr. Erneston: Well, I've been here all my
ife just about. I came here in 1948 as an
jrchestra director and teacher of violin
md various courses in music literature. In
1968, I became Dean of the College of
i^ine and Applied Arts and have been ever
since.

EIHODODENDRON: What role does
;he College of Fine and Applied Arts play
it this University?

Or. Erneston: We see our role here as
;ri-fold. Number one, we contribute to the
general education aspect. That is, the
;ultural atmosphere of the General
Education part of the curriculum. Second,
ve are very career oriented in this college.
VIost of the students are engaged in
education toward a specific career goal in
ife. We've changed programs and added
urograms in that direction and for that
Durpose all along. Thirdly, we are
nvolved in creating a cultural atmosphere
lere to give students an aesthetic outlet.
3ne of the missions is to create a Fine
\rts Center here, a kind of cultural center
"or this region which we are already well
m our way to doing through our clinics
md summer camp programs, and by
jringing the North Carolina Symphony
lere during the summer.
EIHODODENDRON: Is the Symphony
;oing to make its summer home here?
Dr. Erneston: That's the underlying

"Most of the students (in the College of
Fine and Applied Arts) are engaged in
education toward a specific career goal
in life." - Dean Nicholas Erneston

goal. They've been here two summers,
now, and they will be here this summer.
It's a spin off from some things that were
already going on like the Cannon Music
Camp. The Music Department in par-
ticular has hosted clinics, workshops, and
festivals here in the summertime for
many, many years. The camp program is
in its 15th or 16th year. We're still going
strong. It's a drawing card for us. It's a
recruiting effort also.
RHODODENDRON: With the building
of Farthing Auditorium, Wey Hall, and
the new Broyhill Music Building, the
College of Fine and Applied Arts has been
expanding tremendously. Are there any
plans for further expansion of the
College?

Dr. Erneston: In Industrial Arts there is
a plan to more than double the size of the
existing structure. The new building is to

be built between the existing building and
the street. The Industrial Arts building
has been the number one priority on
campus for several years. I've no reason
to think that the plans won't come to
fruition.

RHODODENDRON: How many majors
are enrolled in the various departments?
Dr. Erneston: It would be a guess, but
I can give you some figures which may be
indicative. At last year's commencement,
the six departments of Fine and Applied
Arts graduated 6% to T^l of the total.
Our programs are really quite valid. They
are healty programs. We are moving away
from certification type degrees. I think we
are satisfying the students' needs.

In Home Economics we're really
growing in the area of child care, and also
some non-teaching tracks that deal with
housing and interior decoration, clothing
and textiles, foods and nutrition. In the
Physical Education Department we have
a great number of people in recreation.
We are also in the process of asking for
a community health track. We expecL that
that's going to be a popular program.

Right now, of all the departments in
the college, two of them still are very
certification oriented. Music, I guess, is
about 70'^c music education. The other
30 '^7 are involved in performance degrees,
theory, composition, church music, and
music merchandising. Physical Educa-
tion, by its very nature, is a certification
track.

The faculty votes and de-
termines the most talented
students. An award ceremonj
is then held, in which
winners of the Art Talent

The $1800 scholarship is
offered through the de-
partment and is divided up
among the classes.

All the programs and ac-
tivities offered to art
students are a means of
achieving departmental
goals. Dennis says, "Our
purpose is to provide as
much individual instruc-
tion as we can for students
involved in the various
programs. We are involved
in art appreciation, the
making af art, and the
practical aspect of art in
relation to marketing. We
are seeking to provide our
students with a complete
understanding of the many
facets of art."

VIRTUOSO AT
THE PIANO

Dr. Kindt is an outstand-
ing man with many fine
qualities, and he is an
extremely accomplished
pianist. He has been a
faculty member at ASU for
12 years. When asked how
he likes ASU, he replied,
"love it!" He speaks very
highly of his family. His
wife is a fine vocalist,
"a strong dramatic soprano"
as stated by Dr. Kindt. |
His four children, ranging |
in age from four to nine-
teen, also are of tremen-
dous interest to Dr. Kindt.

Dr. Kindt has worked hard
to achieve his present suc-
cess. At the age of seven-
teen, his parents sent him
to France for the summer
to study with the famous
Nadia Boulanger who was
extremely marvelous compo
sition teacher. Dr. Kindt
sees that as a wonderful
experience. Later he at-

tended the Curtis Institute
of Music in Philadelphia
where he studied with
Lusvisi. Dr. Kindt re-
ceived his Masters degree
from Julliard in New York
City, working with both
Rosina Levine and Martin
Canin. He then worked on
his DMA in Michigan.
There Dr. Kindt spent five
years studying with Cyorgy
Sandor who was a wonderful

techniques teacher. Sandor
understands the mechanical
parts of a piano very well
along with hand motions.
Also, while in Michigan,
Dr. Kindt had the chance
to play with many orches-
tras.

Teaching at ASU was Dr.
Kindt's first job. He
teaches piano to piano

The PPM program at ASU is
unique among the University
of North Carolina system.
It is offered jointly by
the Industrial Education
and Technology, Communi-
cation Arts, and Business
Departments. Its purpose,
according to the program's
director, Dr. Robert Banz-
haf, is to prepare students
for management positions in
the printing industry.

The program offers a var-
iety of courses designed to
acquaint the student wi
the technical and man
ment aspects of the pri
ing industry. The major
includes courses in graphic
arts, cold type composi-
tion, paper and printing
substrates, screen printing
and printing estimating. Stu-
dents are also required to
take courses in business and
Communication Arts. The
irogram is geared toward

management; it strives to
give students practical ex-
perience in running a print
shop. A course called Pro-
duction Techniques has been
developed to help meet this
end. Each spring, students
open the printing facili-
ties in the Industrial Arts
building for commercial
use. Jobs are taken from
the faculty, staff and stu-
dents of ASU. A hierarchy
of managers, salesmen, and
blue collar workers is set
up so students get the feel

of how real commercial op-
erations run.

Graduates of the Printing
Production Management Pro-
gram are generally quite
successful in finding em-
ployment. Many are hired by
the same firms for which
they completed a mandatory
8-12 hour internship.
The degree also includes a

and a Management minor as
well.

Skills and the teaching of
skills is the main idea
behind the subjects. It is
an enjoyable profession if
you like to deal with peo-
ple. Personal contact and
providing instruction of
skills that will last gives
a personal satisfaction to

NEW MAJOR BOOSTS
HOME ECONOMICS

Food Systems Management
is a new major offered
through the Department of
Home Economics. The restau-
rant and hospitality field

is rapidly becoming a rich
and rewarding career for
men and women.

The traditional concept
of Home Economics is one of
female dominance. Today,
however, an increasing
number of men are enrolling
in the department, largely
due to the new program.
"I'm proud of what we learn
here," said Dan Nelson, a
Food Systems major. "The
teachers take a personal

interest in the students.
This is harder to offer in
the larger colleges on
ASU's campus."

The new four year program
teaches majors the day to
day operations of restau-
rant and institutional food
services. Core courses are
taken from the Home Eco-
nomics Department and the
College of Business. Acti-
vities for Food Systems
managers included a lunch-
eon for Jerry Williams,
Executive Vice-President
of the North Carolina

COLLEGE OF LEARNING
AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

The College of Learning and Human
Development is the oldest college on
campus. In fact, when established ASU
graduated only teachers. Times have
changed, but the college is still an
important part of the University. It has
over 850 majors, and the program is
second only to East Carolina in size. In
this interview, Dr. Ben Strickland, acting
Dean of the College of Learning and
Human Development, discusses the
college's role and its outlook for the
future.

RHODODENDRON: What is the im-
portance of the College of Learning and
Human Development to the University
and the surrounding area?
Dr. Strickland: Well, historically we
were the Appalachian State Teacher's
College, and everybody who graduated
from this institution had to be trained as
a teacher. About 1967 we became
multi-purpose. We no longer required
everyone to become teachers. I think that
if we render a service to the region in
which we are located (it is) preparing
good teachers. (It) is a significant
function for this University, and it fits in
with what we've done historically. We
hope that we play a role in improving
public schools. After all, if you don't have
good schools, it effects our total society.
RHODODENDRON: What do you
think educational trends will be in the
future? Will computers come to the fore?
Dr. Strickland: I think that everyone
that graduates from here will have to have
some computer awareness or literacy
because they're in the public schools now.
Teachers are going to have to know how
to use the software for language arts,

"I think that if we render a service
to the region in which we are located (it
is) preparing good teachers. (It) is a
significant function for this university, and
it fits in with what we've done historically.
We hope we play a role in improving
public schools." - Dr. Ben Strickland

math, science, and use the computer as
it relates to their program. We have a
computer lab which we acquired last year,
and we're trying to work it out so that
everybody will be required to take a
course in microcomputing.
RHODEDENDRON: What educational
fields look bright for the future?
Dr. Strickland: Special Education. We
have one of the best Special Education
programs you'll find any place. We train
teachers in three different areas. They're
eligible to teach the mentally retarded,
people with learning disabilities, and the
emotionally disturbed. We call it cross
catagorical (teaching). A person going
into Special Education has a good
opportunity. People going into Speech

Pathology and Audiology are in a good
field. I think its not going to be too far
in the distant future that Early Childhood
(majors) will be highly employable. Of
course. Math, Science, and Industrial Arts
people have no difficulty at all being
employed.

RHODODENDRON: There stiD seems
to be a great shortage of math and science
teachers . . .

Dr. Strickland: Oh, yes. And you know
why that shortage is there? Because
people can go out with a math major and
make a higher salary. But hopefully, the
Governor's Commission on Education for
Economic Growth will be instrumental in
raising the pay of teachers. I think that
you'll see in the future that people will
have an opportunity to advance and have
more security financially in teaching.
RHODODENDRON: Are people coming
to ASU from high school properly
prepared for college level work?
Dr. Strickland: That's hard to say. We
have in our Reading Department Reading
1000 which is developmental education.
We have 15 sections of that course every
semester. Now, if people are so well
qualified, why do they need remedial and
developmental reading? The Board of
Governors has recently established new
admissions requirements. You have to
have four years of college preparatory
English, three years of math including
Algebra I, II, and Geometry, three science
courses and a recommended two years of
a foreign language. If we want quality
people to be quality teachers we have to
start in the public schools.

PROBING FOR
POTENTIAL

The Center for Develop-
mental Education is a
national resource center
for educators who work with
academically underprepared
adults in college and uni-
versity settings. The
Center seeks to improve the
quality of practice in the
field of developmental edu-
cation through specified
services, instructional and
training activities, pub-
lications, and research.

The Center was establish-
ed with a major grant of
$750,000 from W. K. Kellogg
in 1976. "Tremendous sup-
port has been received
since then," said Dr.
Milton "Bunky" Spann,
Director of the Center.
The Center's main interest
is meeting the academic
and personal growth needs
of students arriving at
college academically un-
prepared.

Dr. Milton Spann

The Center provides many
facilities for students
in need of help. The
Kellogg Institute, techni-
cal assistance, consulta-
tions, professional growth
activities, and various
publications are all avail-
able. The main thrust of
these resources is to probe
the student's potential and
help him to find interest
and declare goals.

Dr. Spann said that "25% -
10% of college students
have some kind of develop-
mental lag that inhibits
them from being as success-

or. Hunter Boylan
ful as they could be. De-
velopmental education pro-
grams are offered on most
college campuses to help
students develop in such
a way that they may realize
their potential and remove
many of these inhibitions
that prevent them from
accomplishing their goals
and objectives."

The Center for Develop-
mental Education maintains
an outstanding reputation.
It serves as a center of
research into national
trends among college stu-
dents. Other universities

often consult the Center
for their own needs. Summer
sessions are held in order
to teach developmental
educators the latest find-
ings of the Center's re-
search efforts.

The Center publishes The
Journal of Developmental
Education, recognized as
the definitive source of
information in the field.
Guided by a nationwide
board of editors. The Jour-
nal publishes articles
which focus on basic skills
in education as well as
adjacent areas of know-
ledge. The Journal is put
together here at ASU under
the auspices of Dr. Hunter
Boylan. 5,000 copies of the
journal are distributed
internationally: a tremen-
dous boon to developmental
educators everywhere and
to those at ASU particu-
larly.

Students who work at the
Lucy Brook Child Develop-

students. It began in the
1940's and was named for
the former head of the
Department of Elementary
Education, Lucy Brock.
The school is licensed by
the North Carolina Daycare
Association, but Mrs.
Stines emphasized that the
center is not a true day-
care center because it only
operates from 9:00 am to
12:00 am and not all day.

The nursery school's
schedule coincides with
that of the University.

During the day parents can
come to the center and
watch their children at
work and play from an ob-
servation room situated
above the main room. The
room is equipped with
headphones and one-way
glass.

The Lucy Brock Child
Development Center has
been a success from its
beginning. According to
Stines, there have been
children enrolled whose
parents were formerly

pupils of the school. "Th(
center is designed to fos-
ter the child's total de-
velopment: social, emotion
al, cognitive, and physi-
cal," she said. In all
respects, this statement
sums up almost 40 years
of excellent child care.

at the same time, forming
a unique student-teacher

Bringing computers into
the classroom provides
students with more moti-
vation and in turn promotes
higher learning. Studies
have shown that math test
scores rose significantly
in classrooms with compu-

ters. Students' writing
skills have improved also
when computers are used in
the learning process.

But are computers the
wave of the future? It
would seem so. Almost 10%
of today's work force has
been invaded by the tech-
nological wonder. Where
100 humans once worked, one
computer now stands. Many
basic jobs have already
disappeared, and in years
to come, the rest may
become extinct. Future jobs

will be concentrated in

positions. Dr. Tashner
said that all kids today

FIRST PRIORITY
FOR EDUCATORS

"Elementary teachers are
prepared to teach children
to sing but sometimes not
prepared to teach individ-
uals to read." So said Dr.
Gary Moorman, a professor
in the Department of Read-
ing Education. Dr. Moorman
and his colleague, Dr. Bill
Blanton, have made great
strides in the area of

reading education. Both
have published extensively
in textbooks and journals
as well as conducted
speaking tours at various
colleges and high schools.
To improve the quality
of reading education is
the goal of the two teach-
ers. Moorman said that the
problem with education on
this campus and in North
Carolina is that "there

who are ill-informed." Dr.
Blanton feels that the
faculty at ASU is not em-
phasizing the basics of
reading as thoroughly as
it covers some of the
other requirements in the
curriculum. There is con-
troversy in the field,
however, over just how
much the basics should be
stressed.

Doctors Blanton and Moor-
man have conducted research
into the methods employed
to teach students to read.
They have found that many
instructors depend upon
teacher's manuals and that
these manuals do not pro-
vide for the needs of the
students. Blanton and Moor-
man have tried to improve
the quality of the manuals
and thereby improve the
quality of reading edu-
cation.

Dr. Moorman said, "In
North Carolina our educa-
tional system is over-
promised and under-deliver-

ed." Hopefully, the quality
of reading education will
improve as more students
who have been influenced

The clinic originated
hirty years ago, and at
hat time, its sole pur-
lose was to serve the
tudents of Appalachian,
^oday the clinic is located
n the first floor of Edwin
)uncan Hall. It is oper-
ted by faculty and grad-
ate students from the
College of Learning and

Leading Clinic.

The range of problems
reated at the clinic var-
;s. Anyone of any age with
ny kind of communication
roblem is eligible for

treatment. This encompasses
victims of birth defects,
school children with dys-
lexia, students with lisps,
and adults who have suffer-
ed strokes.

The clinic was origin-
ally designed to serve ASU
students, but said Dr.
Hutchinson, "They're not
taking advantage of it. We
know there are probably
200 students on this cam-
pus who need our help, and
we're seeing fewer than
fifty." The service is
free to those referred by
the Scottish Rite Foundation,
the program's bene-
factor, and to students
and faculty of the univer-
sity. There is a nominal
charge for community mem-
bers.

The greatest problem the
clinic faces is that of
early detection. Dr. Hut-
chinson estimates that,
"half the individuals we
see with disorders could
have had their problems

fully corrected if somebody
had intervened early
enough. The worst thing is
the child who slips through
unnoticed." The clinic is
currently devoting more
time to prevention in
hopes of correcting minor
problems before they be-
come major ones.

All communication problems
can be helped. Pro-

gress, though, does not
come in great waves and
sometimes cannot be mea-
sured with statistics.
"When you have a child
who is a non-talker," said
Hutchinson, "and you see
him saying a word to his
mother for the first time

- now that's success."

SPECIAL EDUCATION

SPECIAL ED.'S
SPECIAL PROGRAMS

Most people think of
Special Education as teach-
ing handicapped children
to read and write. The
Department of Special
Education at ASU, however,
is currently involved in a
number of programs ranging
from physical education to
education and counseling
of families with handi-
capped children.

In 1980 Dr. Michael
Churton was asked to devel-
op a national program which
would cater to the fitness
needs of handicapped peo-
ple. Churton, with the help
of his assistant, Mary
Turner, has created four
physical fitness labs for
the handicapped. Funded by
a federal grant, the labs
are offered through the
Physical Education Depart-
ment and are staffed by
graduate students.

Labs I and II were devel-
oped to provide appropriate
motor development programs
for mentally handicapped
children and adults respec-
tively. Lab I helps stu-
dents form the Watauga
County Center for Excep-
tional Children by empha-
sizing movement and swim-
ming. Lab II aids members
of the sheltered workshop
in the area with physical
and socialization skills.

Lab III is an individual-
ized program provided for
area residences. The child
receives one-on-one atten-
tion from the student
instructors. "This provides

Dr. Art Cross, Director of PEGS.

the grad students with a
good opportunity to get to
know one child very well,"
said Turner. "I think the
students gain as much from
it as the children."

Lab IV is designed to
fulfill the general P.E.
requirements for the 75
disabled students enrolled
at Appalachian. It is an
activity course entitled
PE 1010. Individual pro-
grams are designed to
meet the specific needs of
the student. In some cases
the student may take a
regular P.E. course with
modifications to suit his
needs.

Another program within
the Special Education De-
partment is the Parent
Education and Support Group

(PEGS). The program is
directed by Dr. Art Cross
who is assisted by Julie
Hogue. The goal of this
program is to help parents
deal with the problems a
parent faces with a handi-
capped child." When a parent
has a handicapped child
they often go through a
cycle," said Hogue. "First
there is denial, or rather
an inability to believe.
Then parents often grieve.
And finally, they are able
to accept it. PEGS tries
to help parents through
this process. They also
keep parents informed on
services available to them,
and they tell parents what
their children are entitled
to under the law.

The Student Council for

Exceptional Children is a
club open to all Special
Ed. majors. They are in- ,
volved in several projects t
as well. Jackie Mulay, a *
graduate student, helped
design and is instrumental
in a babysitting program
for handicapped children.
"Undergraduates don't get
much practical experience,
and this is an excellent
way for them to do that.
It's also good because the
parents feel assured that
their child is being well
taken care of," said Mulay.
The SCEC also has a Big
Brother/Big Sister program.
This gives a handicapped
child a chance to form a
special friendship with
someone outside the family
and school.

Although there are mil-
lions of handicapped child-
ren in the US today, it is
good to know that so much
is being done to help them.
As Dr. Churton said, "The
biggest problem facing the
handicapped children is not
their disability, rather
the attitude of the
public toward them. Once
that barrier falls, every-
thing else will fall into
place. Perhaps one day the
term handicapped will
become 'handicapable,'
and people will see what
these special children
can do, rather than being
blinded by what they cannc
do."

COFFEY
HALL

A new home
for ASU
honors students.

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY
BY BABETTE MUNN

For some, the word 'honors' conjures
up the image of an ehtist group of
superciHous intellectuals. In a word -
snobbery. In actuality, this vision
couldn't be further from the truth. Dr.
Daniel Hurley, head of the English
Honors Program at ASU, said of honors
students and honors programs in
general, "It's more democratic than
elitist. It's not a priesthood and
those involved love it."

The honors courses at ASU, which
cover a broad range of disciplines and
departments, are open to all students,
not only those who receive invitations
to attend. Criteria for acceptance into the
courses and programs are not solely
based upon test scores and academic
achievement but include curiosity,
initiative or a great interest in a
particular field of study.

The honors program gained a 'home
base' in Coffey Hall during the summer
of 1983. Since that time, Coffey has
undergone a major remodeling effort,
and now sports a carpeted lounge area,
administrative office, and library.
This living/learning environment helps
to stimulate a lively exchange of ideas
and experiences among honors students,
as well as making possible group
activities such as picnics, movies, and
travel to out-of-town conferences.

One important aspect of honors
classes is their size. Averaging
between twelve and twenty students,
these 'seminar' classes lend themselves
to a great deal of discussion and
debate. Within this type of involving
learning environment, professors often
gain as much understanding and
'knowledge' as the students under their
tutelage. "It's far different from
normal classes," said honors student
Mike Hobbs. "By reading an array of
authors on a given subject, one is
challenged to think and integrate
more. It's difficult, but very
rewarding in the long run."

Jim Bannoy and Dina Murray listen intently to a Dr. Jim Winders lecture.

John Winn gives a lot of energy to concentration upon his work.

Junior honors student Randy Smith goes after the subject matter at hand.

He gained his bachelor's degree at La
Salle College in Philadelphia, and his
Ph. D. at Temple University. He has
been at ASU since 1977.
RHODODENDRON: A lot of students
complain of being bored, do you feel
there is a marked difference in honors
students?

McLaughlin: I've often thought that
boredom is just a sign that the person
isn't looking for things to do. But
Coffey is an active dorm. People are
thinking, arguing, and discussing. The
students work on the newspaper, at
the radio station, with SGA, and many
are involved politically - especially
with the Central America issue.
They're serious, creative, and
intelligent people.

RHODODENDRON: You're involved
with recruiting, administrative work,
the scholarship program in honors,
Coffey Hall, and taking care of the
budget and funding. As far as
recruiting, what do you look for in
students?

McLaughlin: I'm looking for people
who can think on their feet. I look for
a student who can do well in a
seminar. Someone who will feel free to
disagree and voice his or her opinion.
RHODODENDRON: What was your
affiliation with Honors in the past?
McLaughlin: I was recruited as an
honors student at LaSalle College.
That experience made my education, it
woke me up to do the kind of work I
was capable of. It provided the
/Stimulation I didn't get enough of in
high school. LaSalle was able to take
advantage of the museums, concerts
and cultural life of the city to add to

its honors program.

RHODODENDRON: Well, where does
that leave your impression of Boone?
McLaughlin: I like the area; it's
beautiful here, but I'll admit I miss
the chance to be immersed in the
diversity that a big city provides.
RHODODENDRON: Do you see
seminars as beneficial and why?
McLaughlin: In a seminar the
students see the faculty learning as
well. The students can try out the
information, reject or accept it and
integrate what they've learned. They
leave the classes feeling like they've
just begun to learn - they're not just
walking away with a body of
information.

RHODODENDRON: What kind of
environment does ASU provide for
students?

McLaughlin: ASU needs to provide
more stimulation. I worked with the
Artists and Lecture Series for 4 years,
and I think we do a good job with
lectures and classical concerts. But
there needs to be more to keep people
on campus and to add to classroom
learning. The atmosphere tends to be
comfortable and supportive, which is
good, but it doesn't challenge students
enough.

RHODODENDRON: What are some
of your comments on Coffey Hall?
McLaughlin: Having a home base
enables honors to be more visible.
We've used the lounge area to have
speakers and host receptions. When
Frank Lentricchia spoke last Fall there
was a spark in the room, everyone
could feel the electricity. The students
were seeing faculty scrambling to keep
up with Lentricchia's speech. Also,
Coffey allows what happens in class to
spill over into the rest of student's
time. They learn from interaction with
each other as well as from professors.
RHODODENDRON: What do you do
on Sunday afternoons to relax?
McLaughlin: Movies. Family. I have
two kids, IV2 and 7 who keep my wife
and me very busy. Sports. I like to
play basketball, and jog. And I watch

probably too much T.V. In fact, I've
written some things on how the power
of television effects our society.
RHODODENDRON: What is your
favorite book?

McLaughlin: Virginia Woolf s To the
Lighthouse. She writes about people
getting to know each other and the
mystery of feeling a revelation about
the other person only to find out that
each one feels a different way toward
the other. She is the great writer of
how it is to know another person.
RHODODENDRON: Who are some
authors that have a great impact on
you?

McLaughlin: The two most important
poets for me are Blake and Yeats,
because of the intensity of their
commitment to visionary experiences.
They take great risks in their poetry.
It takes them into the irrational part
of the self.

RHODODENDRON: What about the
old question - what kind of music do
you like to listen to?
McLaughlin: I love all kinds of rock
and roll, from Michael Jackson to the
Gang of Four. Our house rocks in
different ways at times - my wife gets
into new age music and I'm more into
new wave.

RHODODENDRON: Where do you
see the Honors Program moving in the
future? Does the push towards a
highly technological society tend to
move students away from delving into
the liberal arts aspect of education?
McLaughlin: I'm hoping that more
departments, especially in the sciences
and math, will begin honors programs.
Clearly, students have to be thinking
about the new technologies, but I
don't think they have to get
over-specialized in college. The new
'information environment' is going to
need broadly trained people capable of
evaluating and interpreting
information. I think all honors courses
try to encourage analytical skills and
to provide a lot of different
perspectives. They help students to
become flexible in their thinking.

HIGH
GPA

Proving

determination

and excellence.

ARTICLE BY PAUL BAKER

The ostensible goal in college is to
excel in academic endeavors. Hard work
pays off in better grades, and a high GPA
gives the student a feeling of a job well
done. But, of course, straight A's are
rarely a college student's raison d'etre.
Friendships and cerebral stimulation
outside the classroom are important, too.
ASU has three general honors groups
which cater to the exceptional student's
more convivial nature.

The Honors Club, located in Coffey
Residence Hall, strives to provide an
invigorating atmosphere of living and
learning. At first glance, to those who
have never been involved in the honors
program, the Club may appear to be an
attempt at intellectual elitism. It is not.
Instead, the students are merely reaping
to their full advantage the benefits
offered by the university and like minded
school mates.

The Honors Club is advised by Dr.
Tom McLaughlin, but the directions and
goals of the group are left to the students
involved. Under the leadership of so-
phomore Sabine French, the Honors Club
moved into new territory during the
1983-1984 school year. Deeptho't, the
occasionally published honors newsletter,
first rolled off the presses this year.

provides a medium through which
students keep abreast of honor's happen-
ings and an outlet for their intellectual
ind literary yearnings. The publication is
lardly conventional, though. Personal
mpressions of Philadelphia's subways
nay appear next to the club's treasury
■eport.

Students also attended the Collegiate
honors Conference at Elon College in
I'hiladelphia and Charleston, SC. The
nterchanges allow for comparisons of
honors Programs on a regional and
lational level. Membership for the
^onors Club is dependent upon whether
)r not the applicant has taken courses in
he Honors Program.

Gamma Beta Phi, a national honors
ociety, also has its share of bright,
notivated students. The members are
Irawn from the top 15% of each class,
rhey, too, seek academic excellence, but
hey are also commited to serving the
urrounding community.

The unique character of this group's
Qembers is obvious in their work. This
loliday season, Gamma Beta Phi spon-
ored a food drive for the needy and sold
Btters to Santa to help provide a nice
'hristmas for a Boone family.

The organization tries to achieve a
lalance between dedication to self and to
lumanity. "Our ultimate concern is total
quality for all people," said President
^icki Waters. But learning is also
tressed. The Appalachian contingent of
lamma Beta Phi is one of the largest in
he state. This year it hosted a state
onvention for affiliates from nine other
chools. Among the activities presented
^ere workshops on leadership skills,
lamma Beta Phi is advised by Dr. Dave

listory Department.

In all of these organizations high

ACADEMICS

ACTION

A look into some of

the brea|phroughs,

highlights, and

departmental projects

of ASU'^ 1983-84

academic year.

From the Earth's ^jearest neighbor, the moon, to more remote
obfBCts, such as the Andromeda Galaxy, the Dei^rtment of
Physics and Astronomy's Dark Sky Observatory continues to
search for the, answers to new astronomical questions.

WINDOW ON THE HEAVENS

Appalachian State
University's Dark Sky
Observatory is still in its
infancy, but the location
and the facilities hold the
promise of a top-notch
astronomical observatory.
The location, atop a
mountain ridge near
Phillip's Gap (between
Boone and North Wilkesboro),
has some of the darkest
skies available east of the
Mississippi River. Dr. Joe
Pollock, who is currently
overseeing the develop-
ment and maintenance of the
observatory said, "The
location is good because it
has little "light pollu-
tion", which is the
artificial brightening of
the sky due to city lights."

There are two telescopes
located at the Dark Sky
Observatory (DSO) site,
which are similar in size,
but different in applica-
tion. The 18-inch reflector
is used for what is called
photoelectric photometry.
The light collected from a

single star is allowed to
fall on what Pollock
describes as a glorified
(and expensive!) light
meter. This enables the
astronomer to measure
changes in that star's
brightness. The pictured
domed building houses the
telescope as well as the
computers which control it
and which analyze the
incoming data.

A newer addition to the
observatory is the 16-inch
reflector. It has the
capability of photographing
a relatively large area of
the sky in one shot. Dr.
Pollock obtained the
pictures of the Andromeda
Galaxy and the moon using
the 16-inch telescope.

Dr. Pollock remarked on
how pleased he was to be an
active participant in the
development of this type
of research installation.
The ASU Foundation financed
the construction of the
observatory and Lowe's
donated the observer's

quarters, which are
utilized as a place to work,
sleep, eat and simply warm
up during a long winter's
night of observing.

He commented as well on
a few of the misconceptions
about astronomical obser-
vations. "Most people see
the astronomer in his lab
coat peering through the
telescope and jotting down
notes. In fact, most infor-
mation is gathered
electronically or photo-
graphically, rather than
by eye. In addition, if
it's 10 degrees outside,
then it has to be 10
degrees inside the
observatory as well or the
viewing is disrupted."

Along with his obser-
vational work. Dr. Pollock
teaches both beginning and
advanced astronomy courses.
Pollock commented that
student interest in
astronomy is growing, and
said, "There are twice as
many undergraduates in our
introductory astronomy

courses this year than
there were last year".

As for future directions.
Dr. Pollock said that there
are two things that he
would like to see happen.
"First, you really need
two full-time observational
astronomers to
handle both the courses
and the work involved with
the observatory. Secondly,
you also need to reduce the
teaching loads of the ■

professors so they can
devote more time to
research activities. It is
important, especially in
the "hard" sciences, that
a professor stays up-to-
date in his field, which
is difficult to do if you
are not actively engaged in
some sort of research. If
the Dark Sky facility is
properly developed and
used, then the students,
faculty and reputation of
ASU will reap the
benefits".

THE FIBER ARTS

The ASU Art Department
offers a unique and indi-
vidualized course in Fiber
Art. Course content is
varied and can be taken on
any of four levels, inclu-
ding a graduate course.

Students learn to warp
frame and floor looms. They
also learn basic weaves on
both looms and dying and
batiking techniques. Dr.
Marianne Suggs, course in-
structor says, "The end
result is not just mastering
a technique but selecting
your own personal
technique that solves your
visual problem." Dr. Suggs
says that while art is
usually classified as an
intuitive process it is
actually "one of the most
academic experiences you
can have. You must consider
all available alternatives
i.e. color, shape, line.
Everybody should be in-
volved in art for the
decision-making process
alone."

Fibers is required for

Textile majors in the Home
Economics Department. It
serves as a general studio
elective for majors in Art
Production, Commercial
Design, and Art Education.
Dr. Suggs says, "Different
types of people take it
for different reasons and
that favors the course."

The course is indeed a
demanding one. The twenty-
five Fibers students spend
six hours a week in the
classroom. In addition to
that, a minimum of ten
hours a week is required
outside of class. All this,
for two hours credit.

Participation in cri-
tiques is also a require-
ment. "Critiques allow
students to recognize art
as a problem-solving
process. There is more to
it than mastering a skill.
While 50 '^ of the class em-
phasis is on development of
skills, we stress visual
literacy equally," said
Dr. Suggs.

Jazz is not that
North Carolina, but jazz
maintains itself at ASU.
Despite the fact that ASU
offers no degree program,
there are two major jazz
ensembles and several
small jazz groups in Boone.
Dr. William Gora, professor
of music at ASU and an avid
jazz musician himself,
directs Jazz Ensemble I,
teaches 12 hours of jazz
saxaphone, and spends 3
hours a week rehearsing
with the Wind Ensemble. Dr.
Gora plays in a band that
tours locally and is apt at
the saxaphone, clarinet,
and flute. He commented
on the importance of jazz
and said, "We're recruiting
here as hard as they
recruit for athletes. If
I hear of a trumpet player
from High Point, I go see
him."

ASU's Jazz Alumni
performed in the Broyhill
Music Center this fall
bringing together some
top musicians. Dr. Gora
hopes students will become
more aware of the perform-
ances on campus and in
Broyhill.

SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGY

Everyone who has ever
been to school has taken an
achievement test, IQ test
or personality test.
These tests are adminis-
tered by counselors in the
field of School Psychology.

Dr. Eric Hatch, the
head of the program of
School Psychology here at
ASU, explained that his
program is designed to
train students to be "good
at diagnosing learning
disabilities as well as to
be good at interpersonal
relationships with other
adults."

The students in the
training program accompany
professors on field trips
to area schools to admin-
ister the tests. They range
from oral and written exams
to diagnostic puzzles. The
tests aid in the search for
emotional and learning
problems. When a problem is
found, the students inves-
tigate the possibility of a
disparity between learning
and achievement. Dr. Hatch
explained, "both the col-
lege student and the stu-
dents being tested really
enjoy giving and taking
them." - Robbie Reaves

CHILDREN'S CULTURE

"Beware of Ludlow Good-
pants," cautions Gail Haley
in her course on writing
children's books. "Ludlow
Goodpants is the symbol of
a hero who's too good to be
believed. If he is too
good, then you will lose
your audience," she said.

Haley is well acquainted
with children's literature.
She won the prestigious
Caldicott Medal twice and
the Kate Greenway Medal
once for her work in illustrat-
ing children's books.
She also oversees the Gail
Haley Collection for the
Culture of Children in room
263 of Edwin Duncan Hall.
The museum is a plethora of
artifacts relating to
children. There are dolls,
puppets, marionettes,
printing presses, a carousel
horse, books, and
original illustrations and
manuscripts. "We can bring
a bunch of adults into the
collection and turn them
into ten year olds," Haley

said about the museum.

What goes into a children's
book? "The front cover
is a door into another
world," said Haley. "It is
fun to go back and look
at what was written for
children, and we can learn
a lot about children from
what is written for them."

A lot can be learned about
children by looking at their
heroes. "George Lucas is send
ing us a shipment of things
on Star Wars," Haley said.
"The unconscious structure
of Lucas's movies has made
an impact. Who do children
relate to? Darth Vader?
R2-D2?

I'm interested in the
archetypal, long-lasting
concepts. The circus pony,
for instance, represents a
whole school of thought.
Children are fascinated by
horses. It's a life-long
study, finding things and
sharing them with
people."
- Charles Uzzell

BUSINESS: TOKYO STYLE

During the summer of 'SJ
two professors and fourteen
students from ASU's
Business Department jour-
neyed east to the island
country of Japan to study
the techniques of Japanese
business management. Dr.
John Reeder, leader of the
ASU group, said, "We
learned about Japanese
history, society, economy,
politics and customs, as
well as business manage-
ment."

The trip was offered
through the Department of
Business Management and
the M.A. in Industrial/Orga
izational Psychology Pro-
gram. Students earned up t
six semester hours of
credit.

The first two weeks were
spent in a resort town just
outside of Tokyo, listening
to lectures on Japanese
history and society. The
next two weeks were spent
in Kyoto, the old capital
and cultural center of
Japan. Finally, the conclud-
ed their trip in Tokyo
touring the major industries
and enjoying the famous
Japanese hospitality.

iW YORK LOFT

ASU's New York Loft is a
ique program which offers
idents an excellent
portunity to visit Man-
ttan. It is located on
istry Street in Manhattan's
ver West Side, well
thin walking distance of
e World Trade Center,
ttle Italy, Chinatown,
all Street, Greenwich Vil-
je, and the Staten
and Ferry.

The Loft was originally
tended for use by the
•t Department. Now, any
sU student can stay there
r a small fee. Still,
e primary attraction of
e Loft is its accessabil-
f to the New York Art
ene. "You can experience
ore art in one SoHo block
an most students will
;perience in a lifetime."
id visitor Martha Dennis.
"The University is to be
tmmended," said Judy Hum-
iries, ASU Art professor.
t's a wonderful thing, an
icredible opportunity for
■culty and students. It is
shame that any student
ould graduate without
)ing up, because they'll
ever have a better oppor-
mity."
Mitzi Hurst.

WOMEN'S STUDIES EXPAND

Many students are
turning to Women's Studies
courses as an alternative
to traditional classes
that fail to explore the
woman's perspective and
history in a variety of
fields. Here at ASU
Women's Studies has grown
significantly over the past
five years. This year
alone, there were seven to
eight courses offered each
semester, with the same
number expected next year.

The first question that
appears in many people's
minds is "what is Women's
Studies?" Dr. Maggie
McFadden, of Interdisci-
plinary Studies and an
instructor of Women's
Studies, defines it as "the
study of women, looking
at particular topics or
areas or fields or ideas
through the perspective of
women, asking questions
that a woman would ask
rather than asking the
questions men ask."

Some of the classes

offered this year range
from "Introduction to
Women's Studies" to "Women
and Film" and "Women
Short Story Writers." There
are also courses in the
areas of Psychology, Anthro-
pology, Sociology, Art, and
Philosophy/Religion.

Members of both sexes
often take their initial
courses to learn something
about women, and then go
on to study the topic
further. April Spencer, a
sophomore Women's Studies
minor, explains, "Not only
do I take Women's Studies
to understand about other
women's contributions to
society, but to also under-
stand more about myself."
A senior who has taken two
Women's Studies literature
courses, John Ferguson
claims, it "makes you
sensitive to things going
on around you so that
you can react and
deal with women and
men."

ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

Appalachian State Uni-
versity has had an electron
microscope in the Biology
Department since 1974. This
microscope utilizes elec-
trons by accelerating them
to light speed and spread-
ing them over the object
being viewed, forming a
pattern which is then pro-
jected by a number of
lenses so that a portion of
the image projected by the
electrons is recorded on
photographic film.

The microscope is cared
for by the husband and wife
team of Dr. William and Dr.
Ruth Dewel. The two teach
a course on Electron Microscopy
which instructs
students on how to operate
the microscope for use in
research. "The special qual-
ity about the electron
microscope is that it can
magnify an object 200,000
times whereas an ordinary
light microscope can only
magnify 1000 to 2000 times,"
explained Dr. William Dewel.

When the Dewels aren't
teaching Electron Microscopy
they are using the instrument
for biological
research.

ELECTRONIC LIBRARY

Belk Library is in the
forefront when it comes to
staying in tune with our
information society. There
are 400,000 volumes and
300,000 microfilms in the
library. Dr. Richard
Barker, the Head Librarian
of Belk said, "We subscribe
to 4,000 journals and have
approximately 2,000 films
in the film library." There
are two library extensions;
the Music Library and
the Appalachian Collection.

The library has more
hook-ups to the Appalnet
(campus-wide computer
system), than anywhere
else at ASU, and is working
toward changing the current
catalog system to an
electronic on-line catalog,
so that students will
eventually be able to look
for books through an
Appalnet hook-up in their
dorm. Instrumental in a lot
of these changes is Dr. Al
Corum, Dean of Learning
Resources. "The eight new
computer terminals are

getting heavy use, and are
easing up on some of the
pressure other terminals
on campus are experiencing,"
he said.

The library has the
capacity to transfer 16mm
films to video tape and
transmit them across
campus through the Appalnet
outlet. This eliminates
the problems professors
experience checking out
and returning films.
Currently, 250 of the
library's 2,000 films are on
video tape. The possibil-
ities for students to view
missed lectures while sick
is another outgrowth of
the system. Slide-tape
presentations and audios
will be converted to video
as well. The library is
making every effort to keep
up with the times with new
technology, but strives to
remain people-oriented.
"The machines are helpful,
but they can never replace
the human element," said
Dr. Corum. - Babette Munn

UNDERSTANDING ORWELL

"It isn't a book I
would gamble on for a big
sale." These were the words
of George Orwell in 1949
after he published 1984.
Little did he know at the
time that sales of the book
would eventually top ten
million copies. Nor did he
expect the novel to bring
him fame nearly fifty years
later, place his portrait
on the cover of national
magazines, or put his name
in headlines worldwide. In
keeping with our national
obsession with 'the father
of 1984' the Department of
English offered a course on
Orwell and his works during
the spring semester. In the
words of Dr. Gene Miller,
course instructor, "It is
an institutional obligation
to teach 1984 in '84."

Through studying six of
Orwell's nine novels and
several of his 700 essays,
students gained a complete
understanding of Orwell and
his often misunderstood
political views. Said Dr.
Miller, "Orwell is worthy
of intensive study because
he was a man who practiced
what he preached. He was
wholly dedicated to his

ideals and was, in a sense,
the conscience of his gen-
eration."

The class was made up o
a diverse group of students
making for lively discus-
sions between business,
english, history and poli-
tical science majors.
Some students took the
course because they had
read Animal Farm in the
sixth grade and had estab-
lished a fascination for
Orwell at an early age.
Others were simply en-
ticed to take the course
by its timeliness and
social significance.

Responding to a 'what
would Orwell say if he wer(
here today' query. Miller
stated, "I think he would
be both relieved and
alarmed. He would be re-
lieved that his prophesies
have not come to pass.
Russia, especially, and
China in some senses, have
become monolithic totali-
tarian states. But I think
he would see that an exter-
nal, all powerful force
doesn't control us. And of
course, he would be full
of contradictions."

!AY, THE READING MACHINE

November brought yet
inother example of 1980's
echnology to Appalachian -
he Kurzwell Machine. The
omputer, known as Ray,
eads to visually impaired
ind reading handicapped
tudents.

Ray is housed in the
ower level of Belk Library
ind is managed by Pat
i'arthing, Assistant
)irector of ASU's Instruc-
ional Material Center. The
nachine was donated to the
iniversity by the Xerox
orporation.

Ray's synthetic human
'oice reads printed
naterials placed on his
ight scanner. He is
)rogrammed to recognize 200
ityles of type, and reads
)y "learning" how the
tyle affects the shape of
he letters.

Attached to the reading
nachine is a 30-key
ceyboard that starts and
tops the machine as well
IS operates its memory. The
nemory stores the past 12
ines that were read, and
snables the listener to
ead a passage or have a
vord that can not be under-
itood spelled out.

Ray offers visually
impaired students a sense
of "greater independence
and freedom." Farthing said
these students now have the
opportunity to engage in
pleasurable reading without
having to rely on someone
else.

Farthing emphasized that
the unit is also available
to students, faculty
members, staff, and commu-
nity members that have
reading problems such as
dyslexia.

Ray also has a calcu-
lator that aids students in
mathematics. Farthing
hopes his use will be
expanded further through
the addition of a Braille
printer that would print
what is being read.

Currently, Farthing
knows of six visually
impaired students that
Ray can benefit. One of
these, Robert Parrish,
calls Ray "very strategic"
and "a good breakthrough
for the blind." He added,
"I personally think I can
use this machine to read a
lot more books I wouldn't
otherwise get to read."

INNOVATIONS IN TEACHING

Studies in the field of
Political Science at ASU
can provide some attractive
opportunities for students
both inside and outside the
classroom. Students
taking "American
National Government and
Politics" can choose
a regular classroom structure
or one that is somewhat
different. Dr. Roland
Moy teaches two sections
of the course which differ
greatly from traditional
learning approaches.

Experimentation with
different styles of testing
and information review re-
sulted in Dr. Moy's pre-
sent classroom procedures.
These classes consist
of lectures, small group
discussions, guided readings,
and, of course, tests.
Students take objective,
essay, and oral exams. They
may continue studying the
material and retake the objec-
tive tests until they
achieve the grade they want.

Students get to know

each other in class through
the small discussion groups,
and thus feel more comfort-
able. Everyone has the
chance for verbal input
which helps students to
develop oral skills. Since
all students don't learn in
the same ways, using a vari-
ety of learning and testing
styles offers something for
everyone. Students not only
learn more, but they also
enjoy class more.

Several students from
Watauga High School attend
Dr. Moy's version of "Amer-
ican National Government
and Politics". Watauga High
offers no upper level classes
in Political Science. These
high school students can
learn about politics in college,
and even get advance
college credit. Nathan West
of Watauga High said, "It's
a different way of learning
about our government," in
reference to the teaching
techniques and learning
variations used in class.

ECOLOGY ADVOCATE

Appalachian is proud to
have as a member of its
staff Dr. Harvard Ayers,
anthropology professor and
Vice-Chairman of the North
Carolina Sierra Club. Dr.
Ayers was elected to this
position in January. He has
long been actively involved
in environmental issues.

Members of the local
Sierra Club actively
participated in the push
for the North Carolina
Ridge Law.

Ayers said that,
"The visual pollution is
bad in itself but the
degradation to the physical
environment is especially
unfortunate."

Dr. Ayers said the
environmental future of
the Appalachian area "looks
pretty good." The North
Carolina Wilderness Bill is
currently in motion and has
already passed the House of
Representatives. This bill
will designate more
wilderness areas in western
North Carolina, and is a
result of a compromise
reached between the timber
industry and environmen-
talists.

THE D.C. EXPERIENCE

The Appalachian House is
a campus extension located
in Washington, D.C. It sits
across the street from the
Library of Congress and the
Folger Shakespeare Library.
Roger Stanley was the D.C.
graduate intern for the
fall semester of 1983.
under the direction of Dr.
Effie Boldridge.
RHODODENDRON: Along
with the typical suggestions
of the White House and the
Washington Monument, what
interesting places would
you suggest after your
stay?

STANLEY: I approached it
with my own particular
interests. I went to
poetry readings at the
Library of Congress, and
visited many a bookstore. I
did a lot of walking and
riding the public transit -
seeing the exterior of
Washington. It has a nice
urban feel to it. I liked
being in the middle of it
and feeling I was in a
place where things are

happening and decisions are
being made that are affecting
the world. There are a
lot of neat art shows going
on, especially traveling
exhibits in the National
Gallery of Art in the East
Wing. I attended a couple
of political marches,
including the November 12th
demonstration against U.S.
policy in Central America.
RHODODENRON: Would
you suggest the internship
to others as a valuable
experience?

STANLEY: It's a great
opportunity for graduate
students to do research,
especially with the Library
of Congress across the
street. Most of all, I
would suggest to ASU
students to take full
advantage of the App House.
It's not just for groups to
stay, or faculty or
graduates - it's also for
the individual who wants
to partake in the atmosphere
of the Nation's
Capitol. - Babette Munn

SERVICE AND SONG

The Boone Variety Show,
including performances by
the Boone Mountain Clog-
gers, the Hickory Nut Gap
Band, an assortment of jug-
glers, and even a six year old
guitarist, was a success in
more ways than one. In
addition to providing an
evening of great entertain-
ment and exposure to area
performers, the show held
by the Iota pledge class of
Pi Sigma Epsilon raised
money for the Father Rick's
Home for abused children.

John Swift, president of
the pledge class, said that
they chose the Variety show
for its appeal in the
community of Boone, even
though they knew it would
take a great deal of time
and energy to organize such
an event.

"In the long process,
we have tried to build
our knowledge of sales and
marketing, and at the same
time gain a better view
of the business world,"
said Swift. He added,
"The audience enjoyed the
acts and we collected
over $400.00 to benefit
Father Rick's Home."

JITS, BYTES AND BIKES

ASU math professor Mark
tiarris has found a way to
combine his two hobbies:
computers and bicycling.
Harris has figured out a
vay to race his bike
igainst his computer.

Harris started off with
1 simple program that
flashed graphic displays
in his computer. The graphs
showed the desired cadence
:hat Harris wanted to bicycle.
\ year later Harris
:onnected his bike to his
\pple computer. "I'm
actually racing the com-
puter," Harris said. A
:able goes from the computer
to a crank on the
bike. Every time the pedal
turns, the crank "clicks"
and a bike on the computer
screen advances.

Harris has his own bike
set up in a racer-mate
stand with a squirrel cage
attached to the rear wheel
for wind resistance. "This
set up allows you to get
the conditions of a real
bike with no extra expense,"
Harris explained.
He dons his Sony Walkman
and rides. "A slow ballad
is death to my workout."
- Michelle Demnicki

A LIFE OF SERVICE

He's interesting. He's
energetic. He's genuine.
Variety in life and career
has put the stamp of
uniqueness on him. He is
Dr. Reginald T. Weber, a
professor of Economics here
at ASU.

Dr. Weber's formal
education record is quite
impressive. He received his
Bachelor of Commerce degree
from LSU and his MBA from
Maryland. He obtained both
degrees while serving in
the United States Army. Dr.
Weber served under General
George S. Patton during
World War II. They collabor-
ated closely in the develop-
ment of tactical training
of tank units.
During the war each was
promoted four times. Weber
retired from the Army as a
Colonel in 1957 after 26
years. Next, he went on to
earn his Ph.D. from New
York University. While at
NYU he was awarded a
Marcus-Nedler Fellowship
as well as a Ford Foundation

Fellowship. He was
also presented with a
special Founders Day Award
upon receiving his degree.

Dr. Weber came to ASU
from Norwich, a military
school in Vermont, in 1968.
At that time, the Department
of Business and Economics
was small and limited
in scope. In order to
expand the program, ASU
needed someone with the
commerce and management
experience of Dr. Weber.

Dr. Weber officially
retired from ASU in 1973
and was called back in 1979.

His current status here
is temporary, but Weber
said he'll stay as long as
he's needed. Dr. Weber was
the Varsity fencing coach
at ASU, and is an avid
skier. A man with the moun-
tains rooted in his life,
Weber said he's happy
in Boone. Appalachian is
proud to have Dr. Reginald
T. Weber on its staff. He's
a man truly dedicated to
teaching. - Cathy Stewart

FORENSICS SUCCESS

Dr. Terry Cole is dedicated
to his students and
the forensics team at ASU.
Dr. Cole came to ASU in
1971 and took over the team
in 1973. The team is in its
43rd year and is still
going strong. "This year
the forensics team is 15%
freshmen and the next
couple of years will be
building years," said Dr.
Cole. The team consists of
students from many
departments, including
business, home economics,
political science, and
criminal justice majors.

The team has attended
tournaments in Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Virginia,
Mississippi, Georgia,
Kentucky, Alabama, and the
Carolinas.

Dr. Cole said, "this year
we're fielding three CEDA
debate teams." He commented
how the interest in debate
has increased because of
switching from NET to CEDA
debate. CEDA debate is more
of a persuasive delivery,
given more to adaptative
analysis opposed to the
rapid fire technique used
in NET debate.

BRAIN VS. BRAWN

Stereotypical illusions of the brawny

jock and the brainy bookworm are

envious generalizations of an

individual's top traits. Fortunately,

most students find a balance between

muscle mania and scholastic fervor,

The immense, stereotyped 'jock' has
legs the size of a tree trunk and a brain
the size of a peanut. He is uncouth,
vulgar, muscular, sports-minded, unintel-
lectual, macho, full of sports lingo and
trivia, tough, and wouldn't show his face
at a cultural event. A sterotypical jock's
batting average is higher than his G.P.A.

Resentful students who do not give
a flip whether what's-his-name hits the
ball over the centerfield fence argue that
athletes are paid to skip class and nearly
flunk every subject. Why, they're clothed
in expensive Nikes and fancy sweats, and
even fed steaks before every contest!
Those rib eyes are probably paid for with
ASU student fees!

What fosters the illusions of this
brawny pseudo-student? Scholars who
did not mature with a father who
expected them to extend the family
legacy of championship polo players will
today gloat at volleyers or golfers with
learning disabilities, and mock roundball
players who clumsily allow basketballs to
roll between their legs. History buffs who
endured the crip class of the football
coach will doubt the intelligence of any
athlete in cleats, or any professor who
attends lectures with a clipboard in hand
and a whistle around the neck. But this
same sedentary, scoffing population turns
green when a muscled discus thrower
hoists something that was too heavy for
them, and enviously eyes a limber limb
striding past them while they stall in gas
guzzlers at the traffic light.

There is a stereotypical bookworm as
well. Lurking somewhere behind the wire
rim glasses, severe hairstyle, five foot
stack of literature, and intellectual facade
is an envious desire to move, to run with
grace, to be strong. And if there is not the
desire to excel, there is at least envy for
a lithe, firm body.

What faction conjurs the bookworm
stereotype? Those who can't read Tol-
stoy, hate conjugating French infinitives,
and have difficulty with logarithms may

extend their energies to the courts and
field rather than the classroom.

Stereotypes are false, assumptive
generalizations of both envy and respect
for other people's extremes and top traits.
Illusions of the stereotypical jock and
bookworm are figments of jealousy or
ignorant connotations of realities which
other people live; people that didn't grow
up with that same mom and dad that
shaped their attitudes, people who
modeled themselves differently according
to the environment around their learned
responses.

The environments of, say, a Pete
Rose are incensed with differently
scented subtle influences than that of a
Carl Sagen. For example, Ralph Sampson
was born with a Wilson basketball in his
palm. His parents had him practicing on
the courts before he was out of diapers.
Suppose your dad comes from a long line
of collegiate lettermen, your mother was
on the shuffleboard team, your granny's
favorite wheelchair pastime is to cheer for
blood and guts boxing, and the family
television is jammed permanently on the
sport network channel. Jimmy the Greek
would stake a wad of cash on the odds
that you were heavily influenced to
participate athletically.

On the other hand, not everyone
matures in a household full of trophies.
If you could read Latin and Shakespeare
before kindergarten, composed symphon-
ies on a toy piano, and worked your first
grade calculus on a computer, you may
prefer the mentally exhausing competi-
tion of a debate team to physically
grueling or violent endeavors.

There are many individuals who
incorporate a lifestyle of athletics and
academics; big league athletes who
perform well for teachers as well as
coaches, and scholars who integrate
relaxing and stimulating sports into their
curriculum. For example, senior tennis
ace Richard Gabriel is evidence against
the stereotypical roles of jocks and

bookworms. Gabriel is a winner on the
courts - he is strong, competitive,
muscled. But he also has a brain. Gabriel,
as a math and computer science major,
has compiled more than tennis wins and
losses. He also has nearly a 4.0 grade
average as a recognized academic All-
American.

What about the campus educators
who perform their teaching duties with
more class after that physical exercise?
Dr. Claire Mamola, an associate professor
in the Secondary Education Department,
finds that her daily theraputic running
helps to prioritize things and put them in
perspective. "Running helps to let the
silliness out," she says. "We have a
tendency to be serious and task oriented.
We feel we have to do something 'right
this minute.' Running helps to bring out
the child-like joy for the sake of activity."

Doubtless, there are some ignorant
oafs who fit the mold of the stereotypical
jock, and some stereotypical bookworms
who study in the library on Saturday
nights. However, the majority of in-
dividuals balance between the two
generalized extremes, incorporating a
lifestyle of both athletics and academics.
Every person, admitting or not, is
somehow involved in sports.

Sports entails more than throwing a
football for a varsity team, starving for
wrestling weigh-ins, or slugging a baseball
bat for major league try-outs. Aerobics,
hiking, fribee, canoeing, pumping iron,
skating, jumping rope, or jogging are
hardly high budget sports, but the
majority of ASU students relieve tension
by lifting a limb or flexing a muscle. And
if a labeled "bookworm" doesn't exercise
physically, he (while the "jock" struggles
with his multiplication tables) at least
fills the stadium stands to cheer, watches
the ballet with reverence, admires a
sprinter's legs, or peeks out the window,
envious, to hiss at the smart aleck jocks
who make so much noise playing.

SPIRIT

Badge of
Distinction

The gold of ASU's band of
distinction glistens not only from
musical instruments but from the
fabric that the band members don
with pride before each performance.
What is this Black and Gold that the
athletes, cheerleaders, majorettes,
and fans display proudly? The hues
are a badge advocating Mountaineer
Spirit, the identification of one to
the unity of the larger emporium of
personality and mini-society known
as Yosef country.

'^^^'^'^

SPIRIT

Sounding Off

The band, cheerleaders, and other organizations voice their support.

One hundred and eighty five uniformed
members of the ASU Athletic Department take
to the turf at each Saturday's football
confrontation in Conrad Stadium. Their
contribution is not points on a scoreboard, but
the "Band of Distinction" is a vital heartbeat
in the pulse of Mountaineer Mania.

After thirteen years as band director, Joe
Phelps clearly defines the role of his musical
entourage. "The marching band contributes
excitement, enthusiasm, and noise at games,"
he said.

The digits on the scoreboard or win-loss
tallies make no difference in the feverish vocal
power, hand clapping, and boisterous support
that the marching unit provides. When ASU is
being run into the ground, the tubas and
trumpets are tuned just as rowdily as when the
Black and Gold is mopping up the opposition.
"In the past when we're not having a winning
season," said Phelps, "if the band hadn't been
there with enthusiasm and excitement, there
wouldn't have been anything."

Packing up instruments and journeying on
road trips is important too. As Phelps stated,
"If any team goes to an away game without
friends (ASU fans), it's a disadvantage." He
stresses that the band acts as supportive fans
when the Apps play on enemy territory.

Although football games are the primary
responsibility for the unit, the musicians

showcase their talent wherever there is sure to
be a big crowd. Pep rallies, basketball games,
Christmas parades, the annual ASU Band
Contest, and other major campus activities are
on the priority list. The band also coordinates
routines with th6 Cheerleaders.

The cheerleading aspect of the spirit fervor
involves more than waving a pompom. The
squad pumps iron to prepare for creative
routines and strenuous stunts in cohorts with
the band. Yosef mascot Todd Hutchinson
sweats profusely under the weight of his new
costume, yet he says, "It's hot but I keep
thinking of how good it looks on the outside,
so it's worth it."

After an athletic duel, sore muscles aren't
the only malady. The cheerleaders scream until
they're hoarse, the musicians blow until they're
blue . . .

WASU, the campus montage of public
service, music, and news, sounds off support
too. Station manager Mike Gore and sports
director Tim Wooten send a "Mack Brown
Show" over the air waves for football fans, as
well as a Tailgate Show previewing each tackle
event occuring on the turf at Conrad Stadium.
Playing time - both the athletes and spirit
organizations rehearse, condition, train and
sacrifice in promotion of the ASU tradition of
sportsmanship and excellence.

The proud performance posture of the ASU Band of Distinction.

Homecoming

Pageantry and excitement fill a memorable day

Kn route to the sweet shoppe, between classes, or
during a study break, ASU scholars fished pencils from
the chaos of wadded paper and crinkled notes in their
backpacks to make a choice. Necks craned, awed viewers
shoved and passersby dropped books; peering over the
crowd to note the objects of the mob's attention - glossy,
smiling photographs of attractive girls.

No, the scenario was not a modeling agency exhibil.
The 8 X lO's were ASU Homecoming representatives.

The ballot box was stuffed with votes for Darlene
Jamerson, and on October 15, 1983 she once again drew
the stares of a few thousand people.

For the junior marketing major, being crowned
during halftime before currently enrolled peers and
visiting alumni is no new experience. Darlene was a
Homecoming Queen for her Asheville alma mater, as well
as an attendent during her sophomore and junior prep
years.

Despite her previous pageantry experience, Darelene
was shocked when her name was announced as ASU's
1983 queen. "I was not expecting it at all," she admitted.
"I was at a total loss. I had only rehearsed how to walk
out behind the winner." Darlene reported that she turned
in bewilderment to her escort, brother Jeff, and breathed,
"Where do I go?"

A nervous Darlene, sponsored by Coltrane Residence
Hall, related her impressions of being honored on the
fifty-yard line. "It was the warmest feeling. This is the
best three years of my life. To know I could represent
what means the most to me is an honor." she confided.
"Appalachian is my life. I love it here, and 1 love the
people."

Darlene expressed gratitude for the most meaningful
honor she's ever received. "I wish that the people who
voted could know how much it meant to m.e," she said.

Darlene has not changed with the weight of a
glittering new crown. "I don't feel different," she claimed.
"It takes more than a title or a crown to change a person.
It takes interaction - loving and learning with other
people - to change."

SPIRIT

'Jaws' for a Cause

The band plays the 'Jaws' theme, while football coach Mack Brown
unites the student body and athletics through enthusiasm.

Alvin Parker darts by a defender, digging
into the Conrad Stadium turf to pass the goal
line. The scoreboard digits add six more tallies
as the crowd rises to their feet, waving pom
poms and plastic Appalachian cups. The band's
harmony blows out the ominous notes of the
"Jaws" theme as the cheerleaders mimic
frightening sets of sharks' mouths. A hefty,
dramatic Yosef figure is on the sidelines to
cheer and blast his muzzle loader in defiance
of the opponent. Yosef country sports a new
mascot, a new coach, and renewed spirit.

In his four year tenure as Mountaineer
running back, senior Alvin Parker has noticed
an increase in fan enthusiasm. One reason - new
coach. Mack Brown. "He's pushing the
program," Parker remarked. "It's good to have
the student body behind you."

Mack Brown has been evoking student
support since his arrival here by speaking at
regular Yosef Yells, a midnight tradition before
home contests. He wants students to have the
pride to state a familiar bumper sticker logo,
"I'd just as soon be in Boone." Though Brown
has served in either teaching or coaching
capacities at Vanderbilt, Florida State, South-
ern Mississippi, Memphis State, Iowa State,
and LSU, he doesn't like to see ASU scholars
wear any colors except the Apps' black and gold
"Sometimes I've been in schools where people

say, "I wish I'd have gone to Carolina or I wish
I had gone here." "I want our students to be
proud that they are here," Brown said.

Following a premiere victory at Wake
Forest, Boone mayor Hadley M. Wilson
announced "Mack Brown Day" at the Moun-
taineer's first home contest. The new Yosef was
conveyed by helicopter to Conrad Stadium's
fifty yard line. Downtown, banners were
proclaiming the spirited messages like "Go
Mountaineers," and "Good Luck Mack Attack."
Yet Brown doesn't want this initial spirit to
wane in the future.

It is a paradox, but unfortunately true: The
athletic program needs rowdy fans to improve
their efforts, yet if the teams are not winning,
fans are more quiet. Photographer Mike Hobbs
noted from the sidelines, "Fans enjoy them-
selves as long as we're winning. Last year,
people were pretty down. At the end of the
game, the crowd was moping out of the stands.
This year, the fans are usually pretty worked
up," he observed.

Brown comments, "If something happens
and we lose four in a row, I don't want our
students to change. I don't want them to say,
that bunch isn't any good anymore. What I
want them to do," says Brown, "is build with
us a tradition. At some point we'll have a
program we all can be very proud of."

ASU students and faculty hiit the roads
en route to fun and fitness.

ARTICLE BY DAWN MOSS

What is the best way for varsity
athletes to stay in shape both during the
season and after? Many of these young
men and women jog. But jogging is not
only for the football or basketball player.
Many ASU students, as well as faculty
and staff members, have a regular
workout in this very popular pastime.

Freshman Lisa Bunn runs approx-
imately two miles a day. Many students
have probably seen her as she jogged past
them near Lovill Hall. As a high school
student, Lisa was involved in many types
of athletics, playing basketball, softball,
and tennis for her high school in
Goldsboro, NC. Although she chose not to
participate in any women's varsity sports
her first year at ASU, Lisa still keeps
active. "I run mostly to keep in shape
now," she said.

Another student, Dave Gilpin, has
other reasons for his running. Dave is very
interested in marathon running and
jogging helps to keep him at a competitive
level. "When I first started running in
1979, my goal was to just finish a race,"
said Dave. "As my endurance improved,
my goal changed to bettering my time."
Dave has competed in 25 ten kilometer
races, 12 five kilometer races, and four
marathons. "When I'm training for
marathons I run anywhere from 60-70
miles a week," he explained. When not
training, he runs approximately five days
a week, covering between 35-40 miles.
Dave describes running as a self chal-
lenge, and he strongly believes that
running is psychologictdly beneficial for a
person. "It gives you an opportunity to
sort out your problems as you improve
your physical fitness," he said. Dave
added that jogging relieves a lot of his
stress and tension, and that after a run
he feels tired but happy.

Graduate student and Resident
Director of Frank Hall, Chester Robinson,
started jogging to build up his legs for
skiing. He began running two miles a day
but since last winter has increased his
distance to five or six miles. Jogging not
only helped prepare Chester for another
sport, but it aided him in losing those
unwanted pounds. "Since I began run-
ning, I've lost 40 pounds," he commented.

Besides getting back into shape, Chester
has accomplished another goal. "I have
managed to decrease my time two
minutes a mile since last February,"
stated Chester.

Professor of Secondary Education,
Dr. Ben Bosworth, has been running ever
since the Boone Roadrunner's Club
invited him to run. "I started running
then because I enjoyed the competition,"
said Dr. Bosworth. "But now my health
is the major reason I jog." Dr. Bosworth
now runs with his wife Kay. Both are over
50 years old but they do not let that slow
them down. "We run probably a min-
imum of three miles on a pretty day,"
stated Dr. Bosworth. "Sometimes we go
to Cone Park and run as much as seven
or eight miles." Mrs. Bosworth became
interested in her husband's running so
much that she decided to try it herself.
"Kay used to watch me run. Then she
started walking along with me. After
awhile, she tried jogging," remembered
Dr. Bosworth. "I was farther along in my
running than she was at the time. As our
times got closer, we began to train
together."

Over in the Student Affairs Office,
Barbara Daye keeps in shape by jogging
30-40 miles a week. "I began to jog to
keep my weight at an acceptable level,"
confided Mrs. Daye. "After awhile I got
hooked on it! It's become part of my life."
Mrs. Daye has competed in many road
races and was involved in sponsoring the
road race held in November to benefit the
General Student Scholarship Fund at
ASU. Mrs. Daye explained that there are
different types of jogging. "The short run
is mostly for speed," she said. Time
improvement and longer distances are the
goal of this type of running. "The longer
run is more aerobic," she added.

So, no matter what the reasons for
jogging may be, it is a sport that has
gained popularity not only with the
varsity athlete on campus, but also for the
average ASU Mountaineer. In a day and
age where almost everyone is concerned
with physical fitness, jogging is a smart
and fun way to get in shape no matter
who you are.

THE

ADVENTURE

ARENA

For outdoor enthusiasts,
thie skill is ttie limit.

ARTICLE BY TOM MAGRUDER

Outdoor adventure is probably one of
the strongest forces drawing students to
the high country. Whether they enjoy
mountaineering in the surrounding wil-
derness, or just sliding down slick
sidewalks to class, the over-reaching
factor which makes mountain life exciting
is the same: diversity of landscape. From
waterfall pools to mountain peaks, terrain
in the mountains changes as quickly as
the weather, making the Applachians the
adventure arena of the East. Students in
this area are blessed with the opportunity
to enjoy practically every outdoor
adventure sport ever discovered. The
desire to learn the skills of the sport is
the only thing limiting them from infinite
excitement on all levels of the adventure
arena.

The subquatic environment forms
the first level of Appalachian adventure.
A simple snorkel mask gives a stream

swimmer a window into a world teaming
with interesting creatures and objects.
Lightning fast trout dart through water-
carved crevices while tiny lobsters crawl
the bottom backwards. For the scuba
skilled, exploring the bottomless waterfall
pools can be as intriguing as a wreck dive
at night. Underwater adventure for Apps
is only a breath away.

On top of the water stands the second
level of mountain amusement. This is the
realm of the boat people who surf the
water's surface. Where water is white,
canoers, rafters, and kayakers may be
found pulling energy from the moving
moguls with every paddle stroke. When
the rapids stiffle into still mountain lakes,
excitement does not settle to the bottom.
With the aid of the wind and a
boardsailing friend, even a landlubber
soon learns to skim across the sparkling
surface at the speed of life. Once one with
his equipment, a sailor is able to surf up
the face of a wind wave, rocketting
himself into the upper levels of the
adventure arena.

Above the liquid level of eastern
excitement lies the remote shelf of the
subterranean, where spelunkers can
experience total isolation in total dark-
ness. This is the land beneath the land
where mother nature exhibits many of her
oldest art works. Hundreds of miles of
ornate passages stand ready to take the
caving enthusiast to the inner recesses of

his curiosity. There the results of man's
misuse of the environment stand out like
writings on the walls. Beside these empty
words, however, slow dripping stalagmites
whisper the simple solution:

Down-shift progression to

speleo-speed and all that

is lost is the lust for

the lead.
Because it is subdivided by snow and
steepness, the ground level of the
Appalachian arena undoubtedly offers
the most adventure possibilities. Packing
remains the purest way to view the
mountains, whether on two feet or two
wheels. The backpacker's reward comes
as sunset when he finds that he has
walked into "the land of his better self."
The more technical terrain of the
ground level provides a habitat for the
southern rock hound. This is a species
whose whole existence is hanging by a
thread - but a strong one. Rock hounds
are able to reach the upper limits of their
excitement level by concentrating on the
task at handhold. Changing into a
climbing canine is easy, but it also
requires changes which take some
patience. The absent mind must move to
the present, and an acquired taste for
quiche must grow into an appetite for
adventure.

The extreme upper level of the high
country is by no means off limits. With
flexible wings of fabric, the bird man can

"ootlaunch into the friendly skies and soar
vith hawks high above the mountains.
Evolving from earth to air is not advisable
"or the frustrated kamikaze, but once a
evel-hsaded novice has earned his wings,
le will soon learn to sniff out invisible
jubbles of lift which will carry him up
md out of gravity's grasp to a peaceful
jlace known as cloud base. From there,
;he bonafide bird man is free to fly down
luffy streets which will take him over the
imits of the landscape.

Other adventure levels easier to reach
;ertainly exist for Appalachian students.
Blowing Rock hounds are definitely more
;ommon than canine climbers, but why
settle for a hangover in an area chocked
"ull of overhangs? Life in the High
Ilountry allows students to enjoy prac-
tically every adventure activity ever
discovered, not to mention the new sports
vhich will soon be making waves in the
vorld. In the Appalachian adventure
irena, where excitement leaps on every
evel, the skill is the limit.

HIKING AND OUTING CLUB

Have you seen students wearing
t-shirts stenciled with, "Apps Do It With
Their Boots On?" If so, you've seen
members of the Hiking and Outing Club.

Vice President Kim Town says that
most members of the club are curious
freshmen and sophomores who don't
know the area. However, only experienced
leaders are allowed to lead the thrill
seekers on weekend excursions. Hiking to
Grandfather Mountain, trailing through
the Linville Gorge Wilderness, horseback
riding at Seven Devils, rock climbing The
Chimneys, backpacking in the Pisgah

National Forest, and caving the Grind
Staff Cave in Tennessee are just a few
ways to "Get High on a Mountain."

Town stresses that the club cares
about the environment and wilderness
areas. "We clean up places that are
trashed out," she says.

This season. Hiking and Outing Club
members, along with other ASU students,
represented the University in the South-
eastern Intercollegiate Canoe Competi-
tion. The group placed fourth in the event
held on the Catawba River in Morganton.

DAILY IRON

For many students, weighit lifting is one
way to meet thieir daily iron requirements.

ARTICLE BY KATHY MCCARTHY

Senior Maria Paletta, who was once
a professional dancer and turned to
bodybuilding about two years ago, states
that, "Bodybuilding makes me feel good.
It disciplines me." Maria lifts four times
a week. When asked what it has done for
her, Maria says, "I'm much stronger, my
muscles are more defined and I've lost
weight. I see some girls down here using
just the universal, not the free weights.
They say they don't want to build, they
just want to tone. This is a myth. Women
cannot build the same type muscles that
men will." But body-building can help
both men and women look and feel great.

Bodybuilding is unique in itself. It is
different from other sports. One advan-
tage is that you can better your technique
and see improvements much faster than
other sports. There is nothing more
satisfying according to many body-
builders, than to add another ten pounds
to that bar and be able to lift it.

Granted, everyone today wants a
strong body. You feel better in every way
when you know that you are in good
condition. Bodybuilding and weight-
lifting have become extremely popular on
college campuses everywhere, and Ap-
palachian State University is no excep-
tion. Students and faculty can be seen
pumping iron and toning up once flabby
muscles regularly in the weight room
located in Broome Kirk gym.

Bodybuilding is much more than a
sport, it is a way of approaching life's
situations. People who work out in the
gym doing strenuous routines for hours at
a time are special and dedicated in-
dividuals. According to one student, "If
I can do this with my body in the gym,
by overcoming obstacles, I can do this in
life situations by resisting weaknesses in
the same way." The bodybuilders learn to
apply the mental disciplines of the gym
into life's situations.

PUMP IRON TRAINING SOCIETY

What's the "in" thing according to
many students around campus this year?
Ask anyone involved in the P.I.T.S. Club
(Pump Iron Training Society) and they'll
tell you it's bodybuilding, powerlifting,
and weightlifting. According to Angle Da
Grosa, an active member of the club,
"Everyone today is involved in sculptur-
ing their bodies."

Members of the PITS Club include
a wide variety of individuals, from serious
lifters, to former athletes, to just about
anyone interested in building up their
body.

There is a $15 fee to be a member
of the PITS Club. The club holds various
contests such as liftathons and bench
press contests.

SHAKE 'N SHAPE

Whether in dance class or aerobics,
students move it to trim and tone.

ARTICLE BY DAWN MOSS AND MICHELLE PLASTER

When muscles ache to be moved,
students can "shake it" by enrolling in
the Physical Education Department's
dance classes, or by moving to the music
at aerobic sessions held in Broome-Kirk
Gym.

Dance students do not have to be
professionals to find a place at the barre.
Art major Heather Pilchard finds that her
modern dance class is another art form.
"I enjoy the physical expression of
swaying to the music," she says. "It's nice
to express myself both on paper and
through motion."

The ASU Dance Ensemble is an
extension for students who minor in
dance. Every student who minors in
dance must work on some aspect of the
production that the Ensemble performs.
But, students who are not minoring in
dance can lend a hand. "Not everyone
dances," according to Wendy Fletcher,
who is in charge of putting on the show.
"Each dance is the work of a choreo-
grapher who has taken the dance
composition class we offer here at ASU.
The students who dance are chosen from
the dance classes but do not have to be
dance minors." explained Ms. Fletcher.
She is quick to point out that the
Ensemble is not a club.

One of the Ensemble's choreo-
graphers, graduate student Joan
McLaughlin whose husband works in the
English Department at ASU, has been
dancing with the group for five years.

THE APPALACHIAN CLOGGERS

The Appalachian Cloggers are a
group dedicated to representing ASU
with this unique style of dancing.
According to junior Judy Adams, one of
the students in charge of the group, the
Appalachian Cloggers perform for anyone
who asks them. "We perform on campus
for events such as basketball games, and
when someone out in the surrounding
community wants us to perform for them
we're glad to do it," she explained.

With ASU located in an area with so
much traditional culture, it is good to see
that some university students are inter-
ested in preserving a part of it through
performance.

"I'm not dancing this year because I
wanted to be on the other end of making
a dance for a change," explained Mrs.
McLaughlin. "I've taken courses under
Wendy Fletcher for a number of years
and have really developed experience in
dance since I've been here."

Other students also enjoy lifting a
limb at aerobic sessions. Four nights a
week Broome-Kirk Gym looks like the
average neighborhood health spa. The
basketballs are put away and the soccer
nets are pushed aside as room is made for
amplifiers and tape players. Soon after
9:00 pm, music can be heard echoing in
the long corridors of the building. All this
means only one thing: aerobics fever has
hit the ASU campus.

Led by senior Wendy Mackorell and
Sophomore Denise Skroch, 200-300
students pour into the gym to get
physical! "We really enjoy aerobics and
we have a lot of fun doing it," explained ■
Denise.

The aerobic routines used at these
classes are choreographed by Wendy and
Denise. "Most of the equipment used
belongs to the school but the routines are
ours," said Denise. "Wendy does her
routine one night and I follow her,"
Denise commented. "The next night I do
my routine and Wendy follows me."

Aerobics is good for the body because
it increases the heart rate and improves
respiration. Many people attend the class
because aerobics also helps slim you

down.

Junior Missy Branch says that
aerobics makes her feel good. She is very
dedicated and goes to all four sessions
each week. "I guess you could say I love
to sweat," she said. Missy also runs to
keep in shape. "I run about three miles,
four times a week," she explained.

Cheryl Roberts, a freshman, lifts
weights in the gym before she goes to
aerobics. "I think aerobics is a lot of fun.
It keeps me in real good condition," she
said. Cheryl was very active in high school
and has continued to work out in college.

ASU guys are also involved in the
class. "There are usually a bunch of
wrestlers and baseball players there,"
commented sophomore Erin Levine. Jay
Tyra, a newcomer to the campus this
spring was introduced to the aerobics
class by his roommate, freshman Chris
Lancaster. "I started going to aerobics to
stay in shape. It doesn't bother me that
there are more girls there than guys," said
Jay. "It's really fun."

So if you want to lose those extra
pounds before the beach season rolls
around or you just like to exercise,
aerobics is the thing for you and
Broome-Kirk Gym is THE place to be.

MORE
THAN
"RAH, RAH"

For devoted Sports Service
Organizations, motivation is
more than noise, it's hard work.

ARTICLE BY FRANK GENTRY
PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE SPARKS

A successful sports program
involves more than athletic
teams. Sports Service Organizations
at ASU such as the cheerleaders,
Appalettes, Mountaineer Babes, and
the Yosef Student Club play a big
role in supporting the athletic
program.

At a football or basketball game,
one group always stands out in the
crowd. The cheerleaders use their
enthusiasm to get the crowd involved
in the game. Their long, hard hours
of practicing sometimes go unnoticed,
but the effort they put forth during
the games is truly appreciated.

Head Cheerleader, Perry Lochot
commented, "I like being involved
and being a motivator of school
spirit. It lets me show my school
spirit and motivate others." Lochot is
a junior from Morganton, N.C.

The Appalettes are another addition
to the sporting events. They provide
the entertainment at halftime during
basketball and soccer games with

dazzling dance routines, and are very
popular with the ASU crowd. The Head
Choreographer is Myra Bigh.

Sandy Cook, a junior from Newton,
N.C., is the president of the
Appalettes. "I love to dance, and
being an Appalette gives me the chance
to perform before people," said Cook.

Another supportive organization
is the Mountaineer Babes. This is a
group of young women who are essential
to the football recruitment program.
They show the ASU campus to new
recruits and their families, and tell
the recruits what ASU has to offer.
The Mountaineer Babes take the
recruits to the football games and
answer any questions they might have.

Kathy Coyne, a senior from
Greensboro, N.C., is the president.
"I enjoy meeting people and telling
them about ASU," said Coyne. "It's
rewarding when the recruit you were
assigned to chooses to go to ASU."

The 30 member Yosef Student Club,
promoter of ASU athletics, had its
largest membership this past year.
They have fund raisers and give the
coaches dinners throughout the year.
They sponsor a jogathon every spring;
their support is very noticeable in
the projects they do.

Darlene Galyean, a senior from
Winston Salem, is the president of
the Yosef Student Club. "You get to
know how the athletic department is
run and get to meet people all the
time," she reported. "You get to deal
with people in the community and
promote ASU."

The Sports Service Organizations
are assets to the athletic program.
They promote ASU in a positive way
and have a good time in doing so.

INTRAMURALS

Tough Competition

Intramural athletes give 100%
in their quest for the ultimate
goal • the championship T-shirt.

Intramural athletics is not to be taken
lightly at Appalachian State. From flag
football to Softball, each sport has its
prearranged participants who go at it on
their respective playing fields. This is not
just for the thrill of victory or for the fun
of it, but to defeat all opponents and
capture the ultimate prize, the all impor-
tant intramural championship T-shirt.

There seems to be a sense of pride in
owning at least one championship T-shirt
for any intramural athlete. Of course the
games are fun and provide much enjoy-
ment, but the quest in each athlete's mind
is to make the championship for a chance
at the bragging rights and a T-shirt.

Beginning with the team sports of flag
football, soccer, volleyball, European team
handball, basketball, swimming, bowling,
and Softball to the individual sports of
cross-country, tennis, wrestling, horseshoes,
one-on-one basketball, and racketball to
name a few, each sport has its rivalries and
predicted winners. The divisions include
independent, resident hall, and the frater-
nity/sorority teams. Some of these rivalries
become fierce as they develop over the
years. For two rivals to meet in a
championship of an event could be an affair
to bring the beloved Varsity Gymnasium
down to the ground. This is because as

many as 300 spectators have shown up for
a championship final in an intramural
event. Did these 300 people show up to
watch an extra-curricular activity that's
supposedly just for FUN?

The name chosen for a particular team
is also a very important feature in
intramurals. Each team tries to psyche their
opponent out by coming up with a strategic
nickname. A team can't have a normal
nickname like the Bears, The Tigers, The
Lions, or The Indians; research and
creativity are needed. Each team spends
time and money on expensive uniform
designs to go with such names as Cosmoszy
Dae, Hosiery Unlimited, The Defibulaters,
The Buzzard Patrol, GSOL (meaning un-
known). The High Lifes, Culture Shock,
The Budheads, and the Clones, just to
name a few.

The ex-high school athletes who
continue to play their favorite sports for
challenge, excitement, and fun take their
respective games seriously. To see a player
dive for a loose basketball, dive to keep a
volleyball in play, or to raise a fist in victory
after a game is proof enough. Hard work
and determination are present in every
athlete as they strive for the ultimate goal,
an intramural championship T-shirt.

A third consecutive state
crown eluded ASU's Club
Football team by three points.

ARTICLE BY JIM BRANNON

The glory slipped from their grasp.
The Appalachian State Club Football
team slid into a 9-6 defeat versus Duke
in a soaked Conrad Stadium to fall three
points shy of a third consecutive state
title.

ASU went undefeated in league play
this year. Over the past three years, the
club has dominated the league and has
achieved an impressive record of 27 wins
against only 5 losses. The squad is one of
Appalachian State's few consistent win-
ners.

Offensively, the team was led by
quarterback Paul Morgan. An excellent
passer who has an array of receivers at his
disposal, Morgan's primary targets over
the years have been tight end Jim
Brannon and flanker Ricky Hedden, but
newcomers Gary Leach and Jeff Chris-
mon also became receiving threats this
year. On the ground, the clubbers were a
perpetual powerhouse. Donald Bridgers,
perhaps the finest all-around back in the
league, was complimented this year by
newcomer standout Mark Goode. Fresh-
man halfback David Lamm also worked
into the Apps strong running attack.

Defensively, ASU consistantly ranks
as the best in the league. Captain
linebacker Dan Voge! led the clubber's
defense along with fellow linebackers
Jack Kasell and John Hampton. Jeff
Venrick and David Golding headed up
the App's secondary while the defensive
line was sparked by veteran Felix Beasley
and newcomer John Neblett.

Appalachian State's club football
team was 3 points away from becoming
the only team in the school's history to
claim three consecutive state champion-
ships. The team is obviously quite proud
of this. More important than winning to
these guys, however, are the friendships]
they develop. Playing club ball gives!
players a chance to meet people and have]
a good time. This is what ASU club'
football is all about, and this is what the
players ultimately gain in the end.
Championships are won each year, but
friendships last forever. The members of
ASU's club football team are definitely!
winners, but more importantly, they are]
friends.

This type of football is physically punishing and violent, but surprisingly graceful.

ARTICLE BY JEFF MCGALLIARD PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE SPARKS

/rug'be/: a kind of football, a
forerunner of the American game, first
played at Rugby school: is played with an
oval ball by teams of fifteen players each
and in which play is continuous; kicking,
dribbling, lateral passing, tackling and
the scrum are featured, and interference
and obstruction are not permitted.

/el*e*gant/: characterized by refined
grace or dignified propriety especially in
appearance or manner: tastefully correct
or refined.

/vi*e*lens/: exertion of any physical
force so as to injure or abuse.

Rugby is violent indeed; being both
extremely fast paced and physically
punishing. The elegant aspect of the game
is not readily apparent to those seeing it
for the first time but is there nonetheless.
Once the basic rules and strategies are
understood the game undergoes a trans-
formation. What once seemed chaotic
becomes more orderly, the grace and skill
inherent in the game become more
pronounced; and at last elegance is
realized.

but some things remain the same. You
must be in good condition, enjoy rough
physical contact, and most important of
all, enjoy the camaraderie that is an
essential part of the game.

Camaraderie is stressed because it is
the social aspect of rugby that makes it
different from other team sports. At the
end of the match both sides cheer their
opponents in a tribute to good play and
sportsmanship. After the games are over
the home team throws a party for the
visitors, and for those who have never
been to a rugby party, it is definitely an
experience you'll never forget. This also
serves as a chance for the team that lost
the game to win the party.

The Appalachian Rugby Football
Club was formed in 1976 and has been
playing a spring and fall schedule every
year since. On every match date there are
two games; an "A" side for the more
experienced players and a "B" side match
for those with less experience. The Fall
'83 season began well for the "A" side and
for a time it seemed they would be the
N.C. Collegiate Champs. However, several
defeats toward the end of the season
proved to be their undoing, and they
finished the season with only a 4-4 record.

Disc fever threw some frisbee enthusiasts
to form ASU's first club frisbee squad.

The growing sport of Ultimate
Frisbee finally took root at ASU this year
with the formation of a club frisbee team
named the Alien Mountain Nomads. The
team consists mainly of those frisbee
enthusiasts who pervade Sanford Mall on
almost any warm day. The team members
are from all different backgrounds but
have one common interest: throwing a
plastic disc.

In their first season, this diverse
group of frisbee players had no coach and
no organized practices, just a love for the
sport and unpolished talent. However,
following the initiative of Dean Forbis,
they banded together into a team with
enough depth and talent to wrap up the
season undefeated.

The success of the Nomad's first
season was largely due to their superior
depth and cohesiveness. Each team
member was a strong competitor, thus
substitutions were frequent. This gave the
Nomad's a vital edge in the physically
demanding sport of Ultimate Frisbee.
Furthermore, the cohesiveness enabled
them to work together effectively with
any combination of players. Both the
depth and cohesiveness of the Nomads
are a result of the many pick up games
the players played on Sanford Mall.

The Alien Mountain Nomads played
four experienced teams during their first
season, playing all games on the road. The
first match was against UNCC. Never
having played together against another
team, the Nomads were unsure of their
ability as a unit. However, after winning
the first game 11 to 8, the Nomads gained
confidence and devastated UNCC 11 to
2 in the second game, thus winning the
match.

The next three matches were played
at NC State where a two day tournament
was held. The teams included ASU, NC
State, Wake Forest, and East Carolina.
The Nomads tied the first match with
East Carolina on day one of the
tournament by winning the first game 12
to 5 and falling behind 13 to 14 in the
second. The second day of the tour-
nament proved to be more successful for
the Nomads as they punished NC State
11 to 6 and defeated Wake Forest 11 to
9.

Although the season was short, it was
exciting. The thrill of 40 yard touchdown
passes and quick turnovers kept the
adrenalin flowing, and the extra effort of
a diving catch was well worth it in the end
because ASU's Ultimate Frisbee team.

transportation vehicles for away meets in
Virginia and Tennessee, and no preferred
scheduling of classes for racers who

For the ASU Ski Team, things are
not all downhill. The team has won six
conference championships in the last
seven years, sending two teams to the
National Championships - without the
support of the university.

ASU recognizes only the Ski Club,
considering the competitive team as

Mountain. Yet, the National Collegiate
Ski Association considers the racers a
University team, setting eligibility stand-
ards such as grade point average
requirements. Rich Little, president of
the Ski Club and a competitive racer,
says, "The team should be a University
sport like basketball and football, and at
the very least the team deserves some
help from the school."

With or without support. Ski Team
advocates insist that the ASU slope legacy
will still survive. "We will continue to live
through the members' hard work and
financial help from the business commun-
ity," Little attests.

Last season, both the men's and
women's teams qualified for the Nation-
als in Waterville Valley, New Hampshire.
The racers hope to make the trip again;
this time to Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
The skiers also pursue the goal of their
seventh Southern Conference Champion-
ship. One major long range hope: a little
push down the slopes from ASU.

SOFTBALL

COMING THROUGH
THE TRANSITION

"Improving our win-loss
record by at least ten wins
is a very realistic goal." -
Coach Toni Wyott

With the painful memories of last year's
mediocre season still firm in her mind, head
Softball Coach Toni Wyatt looks to the new
season to try and improve on last year's
performances and record. The outlook for this
season is once again an optimistic one and the
players, fans, and coaches are certainly
prepared to experience the "thrills" of victory
this season.

The 1983-'84 squad returns some very
experienced players, with five seniors, includ-
ing standout third baseman Sandy O'Loughlin
and first baseman Ashley Atkins. This fall's
tryouts and practices have continued to provide
reason for an optimistic outlook. With talented
walk-ons vying for playing time and creating
a new level of competitiveness, the overall
attitude around the diamond is much improved
over the attitude of a year ago.

If the Lady Apps can avoid the problems
that plagued them last season, "improving our
win-loss record by at least ten wins is a very
realistic goal," says Coach Wyatt. "The club
needs to stay away from the cancellations,
injuries, and bad weather." With so many
indications pointing to a successful campaign,
it seems almost impossible for the breaks not
to go the Lady Apps' way this year.

OPTIMISM AND
DISAPPOINTMENT

Struggling through
sloppy weather,
injuries and a lack of
depth, '83 teams
persevere.

louring the 1982-83 softball cam-
paign, optimism was the prediction and
disappointment was the result. It is
always an added pressure to a team's
goals to have an optimistic prediction
to try and uphold, and last season for
the Lady Apps softballers was no
exception.

Last year, the Lady Apps accom-
plished what would have been a
successful record for many teams: an
even record matching 18 wins against 18
losses. The list of reasons why the Apps'
record remained only even is an easy
one to compile; last year was a
transition year, there were many
inexperienced players in the lineup

playing every day, and above all,!
weather in the Appalachian region was'
typically severe. It was detrimental in
the sense that practices were cancelled
more often, games were frequently
offset, and athletes were more vulner-
able to injuries. Because of these three
major reasons, along with other intangi-
ble factors, last year's season was not
one to stand out in the record books.

From all things something can be
learned. Coach Toni Wyatt's squad
certainly learned much from the
experiences of a year ago. Having
gained valuable experience, the team as
a unit came together and peaked
towards the latter days of the season.
Adjusting to the various elements
experienced along with the Mountain-
eer's lifestyle determined many facets
of the 1983 - 84 team - facets such as
team leadership, defensive stalwarts,
and offensive firepower.

The time for reflection is now past
for the Lady Apps. With so many
positive signs in store for this year's
campaign. Coach Wyatt will try once
again, with better success no doubt, to
fulfill the potential that her team once
again possesses.

Coach Toni Wyatt attentively watches her
players' progress.

L ooking back on the 1982-'83 base-
ball season, a season with many ups
and downs, injuries to key players, and
an untimely losing streak, one would
expect to be pleased with a 33 win
season. Mountaineer baseball coach Jim
Morris is more than pleased with his
squad and their performance of a year
ago.

Morris, now entering his eleventh
year at the helm for the Mountaineers,
feels good about last season's success
mainly because the team overcame
many early obstacles. Obstacles such as
three ASU players giving up their final
season of eligibility to play professional
baseball, the team getting off to a slow
start (1-7 in the league standings), and
being forced to use young players in key
positions early in the season, were over
come by Coach Morris and his young
Mountaineer squad. By season's end,
Morris had utilized these obstacles to
his advantage, winning 17 out of 18
games and moving his team back into
respectability in the league standings
(tied for fourth place).

Last season's 33 and 14 mark was
accomplished mainly because of the
transitions that were forced on the

Mountaineers and their long range
effects on the club. First of all, the
pitching staff was reduced to an all
freshman and sophomore rotation that
finished with a respectable 3.20 earned
run average. Secondly, the young team
made defense their hallmark becoming
especially strong up the middle with
Tom Sans at second base, Rusty
Weaver at shortstop, and experienced
senior Ron Vincent playing centerfield.
Finally, the Mountaineers returned
some key starters at crucial positions
such as first baseman Kim Arey,
outfielder Robbie Peele, and lefthanded
hurler Russ Warfield, that came
through continously during the cam-
paign and provided the leadership and
performances necessary to insure the
Apps their third 30 win season in as
many years.

Coach Morris most certainly can be
proud of his 1982-83 squad's accom-
plishments both on the field and in the
record books, but he is careful not to
get caught up in looking at the past.
The new season is upon us and once
again it is time for Coach Morris to do
what it takes to accomplish another
successful Mountaineer baseball cam-
paign.

'A WHOLE NEW
BALLGAME'

The new divisional play
format includes six more
conference games and a
year-end tournament.

In collegiate baseball, following a 30 win
season is no easy task. It is one, however, that
the Apps will be trying to accomplish for the
third consecutive year. This year's prospectus
is especially tough, for the Mountaineers are
facing new divisional play format in the
conference, and they are heavily laden with
first year players. The keys to Mountaineer
success will be adjusting to the new conference
format, getting the team leadership from this
year's seniors, and scoring runs to compliment
an accomplished defense and pitching staff.

The unique dimension of the 1983-84
squad is that the seniors have plenty of
thirty-win experience. In fact, they have known
nothing else. They include: Rusty Weaver,
Dave Keene, Russ Warfield, Rich Bosley, Joe
Mengele, and Jeff Sosebee.

■The pitching staff returns intact with
everyone healthy, and must remain so in order
to repeat last year's impressive stats. Pete
Hardee and Kevin Simmons led the pitching
corps in innings pitched last year and will be
looked to for more of the same dependability.

This season will be a new one of sorts in
the Southern Conference. It will feature a new
divisional play format that will provide for six
more conference games and a year-end
conference tournament. This will also mean
that many teams will have to play three
conference games in a given weekend.

In order for this year's campaign to be a
successful one, the team will have to improve
on strong defensive and pitching units, stay
healthy, score runs and win close games. The
team should improve but because of youth,
divisional play, and a tougher schedule, the
Mountaineers will need to continue in their
successful ways of recent years past to achieve
records comparable to those of the last three
seasons.

WOMEN'S TENNiS

THE 1984
NET RETURN

Despite "defaults" of losing
top swingers, the Lady Apps
are set to bounce back
with a new coach.

"The girls have their work cut out for
them."

So conceded Coach Louis Meehan of the
1984 women's tennis team.

Competition served the fall volley program
three losses, but the Lady Apps hope to return
the favor to tough opposition this spring. As
Meehan says, "It will be a challenge" without
the competitiveness of the top two players,
MVP Susan McDanald and Francie Robison,
who was undefeated through seven matches
last fall.

"I don't care who you bring in," said
Meehan. "Those girls are hard to replace."

Fortunately, ASU will have the backhand
and leadership of junior Jane Foody, who was
an asset at the net last season.

Depth is one key to success, since some
recruits in the line-up are green to college
competition. Lisa Barbee of Durham, NC is one
freshman who will improve with more
exposure. "She's a very conscientious kid,"
Meehan said. "She gets real upset when she
loses."

Since Meehan left in January after a one
and a half year tenure as head coach of the
Lady Netters, he will not see the results of a
young team that has lost its top two volleyers.
Melissa Miller has added the women's tennis
squad to her duties as field hockey coach. A
former ASU tennis player, the 1980 graduate
contributes her knowledge of exercise
physiology and competitiveness to reign as
head mentor.

Miller hardly inherits a weak squad. As
Meehan says of the 1984 number one singles
player Jane Foody, "She's really clutch." Of
returnees Laura Pilegge and Lee Chaiken, he
adds, "I know what they can do, and they're
going to win."

returns a volley.

HIT AND MISS

The men's season
served up in their
favor, but the
women lost some
nail biters.

ARTICLES BY MICHELLE PLASTER
PHOTOGRAPHY BY MIKE HOBBS

It was a first in the history of ASU
Black and Gold.

The men's tennis squad, with a 21-10
win-loss statistic for 1983, was victor-
ious in over 20 matches for the second
consecutive year.

As a sophomore, Frank Caruso's hard

hitting strategy won nearly twenty
singles contests and MVP recognition.
The Coral Springs, Florida native
compiled the best record on a team
whose basis of success was not in-
dividual numbers, but a group concept.

The Mountaineers swung together to
best all Southern Conference foes
except the top two teams in the league,
Furman and UT-Chattanooga. High-
lights of the season included nail biting
victories against Davidson and Jackson-
ville University by narrow 5-4 margins.

Seniors Bob Allsbrook, Butch Dunn,
and Fred Pfuhl helped lend leadership
as well as racquets to the team concept.
All three veterans were examples of
quickness and consistency.

Southpaw Richard Gabriel was win-
ner both on the tennis court and in the
classroom, compiling a 16-7 number
four seed singles record and nearly a 4.0
grade point average as a math and

computer science major. He was one of
19 national recipients of a Division I
Scholar-Athlete Award.

Head Coach Bob Light said of his
athletes, "It was a team that picked
each other up at opportune times."

I o Coach Louis Meehan, the 1983
women's tennis squad was better than
their 15-12 record indicates. "We lost
many close matches," he admitted.
"That may reflect on my being a first
year coach, but we had a talented
team."

Case in point: MVP Susan McDan-
ald, a tough serving southpaw. A
talented overall athlete with a strong
arm, McDanald combined technical
skill with competitive drive to oust
opponents.

Francie Robison, a hustling baseline

player, was an undefeated volleyer
during the 1983 fall schedule. "A lot of
matches could have gone either way. It's
just who wanted it," the determined
netter noted.

Though Melanie Riley's 1983 win-loss
record was not as successful as she
hoped, the Georgia native was an asset
to the squad in her competitive tennis
debut. A former record-holder in the
water, Riley took to the courts when the
ASU swimming program drowned.
Meehan said, "The tough swim work-
outs have had a carry over effect. She
was a positive effect on the team and
knows how to win."

Meehan said of his first coaching
year, "We were very close to winning 20
matches." The Lady Apps slammed
Jacksonville University on a Florida
road trip, and netted victories versus
such racquet powers as Furman and
Tennessee State University.

SERVE YOU?

Former winning basketball

Who is the most winning basketball coach
in ASU history?

Fifteen year roundball Coach Bob Light is
still coaching, but not inside the gymnasium.
In his eighth season as the helm for men's
tennis, the racquet professional has already
established a record standard in the tennis logs:
two consecutive 20-victory seasons.

How about a third? Five of last spring's
top six return to make another 20-win spring
a probability.

1983 MVP Frank Caruso, now a junior,
utilized hard hitting consistency to compile
nearly 20 wins last season. The team's best
overhead hitter is senior Robbie Lowe, who will
add leadership and an awesome forehand.
Richard Gabriel is another senior. A left-
hander, Gabriel is noted for his steady baseline
performance.

Add sophomores Laneal Vaughn, (a pro at
his two-handed backhand), Ben Terrell from
Charlotte, Florida native Gary Longo, and
Canadian Rob Bentley for depth. Two
newcomers should lend a talent to the veteran
nucleus - freshman Rusty Woy of Shelby and
Dave Siddens, a Lees McCrae transfer.

Though Bob Light has had a stellar
coaching career thus far, his goals for his 1984
Mountaineer men are modest. "We want to do
as well as we can each time we play," he said.

WOMEN'S TRACK AND

LEAVING THE
COMPETITION BEHIND

With top-notch recruits and
hardy veterans, ASU's
women will outdistance and
outrace opponents,

The ASU women's track and field squad
will throw longer, jump further, and run faster
than rival opponents. Coach John Weaver has
added blue chip recruits to the ranks of a
developing Southeast powerhouse.

Sandra Ford, who has filled the record
books with school standards since 1979 when
ASU women's track was merely a club team,
will be missed. But she is the only loss to a
team that has acquired talented recruits such
as Florida freshman Meg Warren.

Warren can hurl the javelin 158 feet, only
two feet short of NCAA qualification. She will
be an immediate asset since no Lady App has
sailed the javelin further than 100 feet since
1980. Also hoisting points in the weight events
will be Denise Cornwell, a veteran shot-put
specialist.

Sprints will be a stronghold for the 1984
squad, since last spring's most valuable athlete
and leading point scorer Priscilla Coleman
returns, along with record-holding relay
partners Christy Hunter and Sharon Suggs.
Freshman LuAnn Wynn of Charlotte will also
add speed.

Coach Weaver has nabbed two hurdlers:
Tracey Easter, one of North Carolina's finest
in 13.9 for 100 meters, and Bobbi Puckett,
Virginia's state champion. However, Weaver
admits that the intermediate hurdles, along
with the long jump, may be ASU's weakest
events.

After hobbling on the sidelines with a sore
knee, senior Donna Kozlowski is training for a
comeback in her 800 meter event. In 1982,
Kozlowski broke the tape in 2:15.6 for an ASU
record. Also in long distance events, recruit
Cindy Little, who finished second in North
Carohna's state cross country meet, will help
junior Lisa Mitchell of New Jersey keep the
pace.

Weaver recognizes that his experienced
record holders, fortified with top new talent,
form a squad that is sure to improve the quality
of performances for 1984.

La ast spring when Coach Bob Pollock
wore VMFs red and gold to workouts,
his track and field squad knew he
wanted revenge in his athletes. Pollock
wanted VMI. By the end of the
afternoon, the team would be ready to
kick their blistered feet up and rest
from exhaustion.

It was not enough that his men
defeated UNC by a 98 point margin,
that they claimed their third consecu-
tive Davidson Relays crown, or even
that his athletes had rewritten the
record books. The Southern Conference
Championship that had eluded his
Mountaineers by a slight three tallies to
VMI the season before had left
Pollock's co-captain Bobby Wilhoit

vengeful too. "Last year was a hard loss
to swallow," the Greensboro native said.
"We should go into the meet (Southern
Conference Championship) with the
realization that the guy in front of you
could be the difference between confer-
ence champs and second place."

But in 1983, the difference between
ASU's second place and VMFs fifth
championship was 22 points.

A frustrated Pollock stated, "We
have been bridesmaids for four out of
the last five years. It is time to win the
darn thing." ^

Though the team did not bring
home a championship trophy, David
Carter, who has not been home to
Barbados since he began striding for
the Apps three years ago, compiled 22 V2
points, including a Southern Confer-
ence Track Record in the 400 meter
dash.

In the distance events, Bobby
Wilhoit leaped through eight laps of
barriers and water jumps to claim
conference honors in the 3000 meter
steeplechase.

Four-time triple jump champ
Robbie Mosley's last meet just so
happened to be his fourth NCAA
Championship appearance, where he
finished ninth in the nation.

I or John Weaver's 1983 Women's
Track and Field, mother nature was the
toughest adversary. Still, the Lady
Apps slopped through muddy jump
pits, splashed in puddles of rain, and
sprinted down slippery track surfaces
with soaking clothes to shatter 14 ASU
All Time Performance records.

Coach Weaver spoke of the frigid
cold and driving rain that was hardly
conducive to record-setting standards.
"Quality and class rise to the top," he
praised his athletes. "I didn't hear
complaints from our girls. The weather
was uncomfortable, but they sucked it
in and performed."

One top performer who easily
handled the weather was Priscilla
Coleman. The speedy sprinter's legs
could move just as fast in warm tights
as she set ASU records in both the 100
and 200 meter spurts, missing NCAA
qualification in the 200 meter distance
by two tenths of a second. She also
helped teammates Sandra Ford, Christy
Hunter, and Sharon Suggs blaze to a
new 400 meter relay record. Ford is the
fastest quarter mile woman to ever lace
track shoes for ASU, and Suggs owns
the 100 meter hurdles record. Hunter
may not be tall, but she can stride,
ranking second on the All Time list
behind Coleman in both short sprints.

so training up to eighty miles a week
has paid off, since Mitchell claims
records in all three distance events.
Denise Coholich and Tammy Sawyer
are small but strong middle distance
record-holding specialists, and Denise
Cornwell can hurl the shot-put three
feet further than any girl ever wearing
the black and gold of ASU.

Teamwise, the squad defeated
UNC, captured their second consecu-
tive Davidson Relays crown, dominated
the ASU Track Classic, and fought to
a first place tie at the James Madison
Open. Hopefully, the Lady Apps will
outdistance all foes slated for the 1984
schedule - weather included.

'84 SPORTS PREVIEW:
MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD

IF THERE BE THORNS

In their run for the roses, the
ASU men's track and field
squad must be wary of all
competition in quest of
Southern Conference gold.

Bob Pollock, who has compiled a 44-7
win-loss statistic in his decade as head track
and field coach, admits his flaws. "Maybe I've
made the mistake of pointing a finger, saying,
'that is the team to beat,' " he said. But as he
notes, "Other teams can be the thorn in your
side. At the Southern Conference Champion-
ship Meet, we've got to beat every darn school
there."

The key - a consistent, total effort from
both seasoned veterans and highly touted
recruits.

Flukey Herndon and Mike Rigsbee are the
two best ASU 100 meter dash men of all time.
The pair, who also share 400 and 800 meter
relay records with Dave Carter, along with
freshman recruit Richard Gwyn, should help
compile points. Herdon's fall conditioning
program was serving as a receiver for Mack
Brown's 1983 football campaign. Carter, who
can cover one lap around the track in a little
over 46 seconds, narrowly missed qualifying for
the NCAA Championship meet in the 1983
competition.

Mike Brooks and Steve Jeck will add
weight to the field events. Brooks, a former
Southern Conference discus champion, finished
in the top three in both the discus and the
hammer all last spring and returns slimmer and
stronger after summer Marine Corps Officer
Training. Jeck shattered the shot put record in
his premiere season last March.

World class marathon runner Carlton Law
is back after a tenure of road racing for Nike,
and Bobby Wilhoit, the best steeplechase and
10,000 meter runner ever to don black and gold,
returns.

Senior Jesse Dingle will again sweat blood
for his specialty, the 800 meter event. Last
season at the conference meet Dingle hobbled
on a broken leg in the gun lap, finishing last.
The stress fracture has healed, and the ASU
record holder is ready to repeat his freshman
year performance as conference champ.

Robbie Mosley, who missed All America
status by one half inch in the triple jump, has
graduated. But Carl Harris is back, along with
freshman prospect Michael Hanks to score
tallies in the long and triple jumps, while blue
chip recruit Kinard Bynum will help Walt
Foster and Scotty Gilmer in the high and
intermediate hurdle races.

Last season, Greg Buckner was the lone
high jumper. Junior college transfer Chuck
Mack, whose sweat pants boast that he is a
member of the "seven foot club," will add
depth. This spring. Mack has soared over

ineligible for a year of competition.

The Mountaineer men are impressive on
paper, but Pollock promises more than
statistics when he says of his athletes, "They'd
rather let their actions do the talking for
them."

First-year coach Tom Adams
says of his lady golfers, "I'm
young and they're young."

Tom Adams is the third women's golf
coach in three years. In describing his new
position and the inexperienced golfers in the
line-up, he says, "I'm young and they're
young."

Both the coach and the athletes are
inexperienced but talented.

Of his athletes, Adams notes, "The girls
have a lot of potential. I've got to bring out
their best."

Training consists more of course man-
agement than perfection of golf swings. But
Boone weather conditions are one limitation for
the Lady Apps. Returning sophomore Edie
Hancock related the adversity of snow. "We
probably won't be able to see the ground until
March," she said.

1983 MVP Leigh Maddox is facing another
adversity. Maddox is not into the swing of
things yet, recovering from a broken leg
suffered last spring in an unfortunate mishap.
As a junior, she is the oldest golfer, providing
leadership and team spirit. Big hitting
sophomores Jean Garthier and Wendy Burton
join Maddox and Hancock in the line-up, along
with Jennifer Henshaw, another sophomore
with steady control.

Two talented freshmen join the nucleus -
mentally tough Shelly Laney of Charlotte and
Angle Ridgeway of South Carolina, who has a
technically expert swing.

Recognizing the potential of his squad,
Adams said, "If we have a problem, it is that
we are all learning."

Statistics for 1983 men's golf? Head
Coach Sam Adams isn't proud of them.

ASU's best finish last spring was
sixth of nine squads at a South Carolina
tournament. Though Larry Eller, Peter
Rucher, David Osmer, and Jeff Owens
were seniors, they were inexperienced
since the season before, other seniors
had teed off against most of the
competition. Coach Sam Adams was
hardly a veteran either in his premiere
coaching duty.

MVP Lee Duncan was one bright
spot with his power and steady game.
But Adams, who refrains from singling
out his athletes, contends that his
coaching philosophy is based not to win
and loss statistics or par scores but
rather grade point averages. "My

attitude is that they are students first
and golfers second," he said.

One thing Adams is proud of, if not
last spring's tournaments, is that all his
seniors received their educational
degrees.

ot only did the 1983 women's golf
squad tee off for few practice sessions,
but they only swung competitively in
two tournaments last spring.

Boone's cruel weather forced Joel
Furnari's golfers to begin training later
than other opponents. Even when
competition began, the Lady Apps were
limited to a mere two tournaments due
to lack of finances.

The team placed a respectable fifth

in a field of nine sctiOols at
premiere, a William and Mary tour-
nament in Virginia. However, they
played poorly during a Florida road trip
after MVP Leigh Maddox toppled
down some stairs just before loading up
for Florida, shattering her leg in three
places.

Maddox, whose trademark is the
short game-putting and chipping,
attributes mental performance to the
poor statistics of last season's athletes.

"What kills us is that we'll have a bad
hole here, and a bad hole there. Then
frustration blows the whole score," she
said. Hopefully, a more consistent
practice schedule and mental prepara-
tion will help things swing ASU's way
in 1984.

TEE FOR TWO

Will men's golf, after two
disappointing fall
tournaments, swing into
conference contention?

Already the 1984 men's golf squad has teed
off for two fall tournaments.

Despite a tie for eighteenth place in a
26-team field on Brown Hog Mountain and a
dismal last place tie at Duke University, Head
Coach Sam Adams asserts that ASU could
swing into conference contention by Spring.

"We are very inexperienced but we have
the potential to be one of the better teams in
the conference," Adams noted. "I expect the
freshmen to continue improvement, and by the
conference tournament in May we should be
very competitive."

Freshmen Mike Beaver, Kevin Hughes,
Ricky Nichols, and Brian Tiddy along with
sophomores Lee Bailey and Claude Reid are
vying for traveling squad positions. But the
lone senior, Lee Duncan, is a sure chip as the
number one drive on a team that is green to
college competition.

"Lee is one of the top players in the
conference," praised Adams. "I expect him to
challenge for the individual conference
championship."

In 1983 Duncan's power and consistency
earned him MVP glory and he will provide
good strokes as well as leadership in 1984.

Pat Danehy sizes up the putt.

ASU Football bites the opposition
for an improved season under

in '83 against

look was quickly

new uniforms.

A promising football season under
first year head coach Mack Brown began
with a shocking 27-25 upset victory at
Wake Forest and ended with a 41-15
defeat at Western Carolina.

Injuries and a lack of depth keyed
the Mountaineer downfall which saw the
Apps drop three of their last four
games after a 4-1 start.

"Our most obvious problem was inju-
ries," said Brown, who came to ASU in
December of 1982 to replace the fired
Mike Working. "The last four weeks we
couldn't even practice the way we
would have liked to."

"The injuries created a snowballing
effect which gave us no depth. Younger,
smaller players would have to play and
they got injured."

Despite the injury problems, there
were several highlights in the Moun-
taineers '83 campaign. The most
obvious was the win over Wake Forest.

Heavily favored, the Demon Deacons
possessed one of the finest collegiate
quarterbacks in the nation in Gary
Schofield. The Apps answered with
a young, inexperienced secondary.

Wake Forest scored on its first
possession for a quick 7-0 lead. ASU
then drove to Wake's one-yard line
only to fail to score on fourth down.

But in the second quarter, line-
backer Joel Carter intercepted
Schofield and returned the ball 48
yards for a touchdown. After a 54-
yard Bill Van Aman field goal gave
the Mountaineers a 10-7 halftime lead,
Carter intercepted another pass and
returned it 30 yards for his second
touchdown.

A late Wake Forest score was not
enough and the Apps were upset winners.

Later that night more than 1,000
fans greeted the team in Boone amid
rolls of toilet paper and the chant of
"ASU! ASU! ASU!"

The celebration ended the following
week in the Mountaineers first home
contest of the season. The James Madi-
son Dukes crashed ASU's party 24-20,
at Conrad Stadium.

A 161-yard rushing performance by
freshman tailback John Settle was not
enough to beat the Dukes. Settle's
fumble at midfield late in the game
sealed the victory for JMU.

The Mountaineers displayed their
act on CBS regional television a-
gainst The Citadel on September 24,
and won 27-16. Here, Johnny Sowell

On the year, Settle rushed for 613
yards and caught 37 passes for an
additional 215 yards. At the end of
the season, he was chosen Southern
Conference Freshman of the Year.

After the JMU loss, the Apps took
out their frustration on an outmanned
VMI team in a 31-0 victory at Conrad.
It gave ASU its first SC victory of
the season.

The shutout was the first since 1971
within the conference. It was also the
largest victory margin against an SC
foe since 1979, when ASU beat Marshall,
45-7.

The win also enabled the Apps to
climb into the Division I-AA Top Twenty
poll also, as they were picked 18th. It
marked the first time in the school's
history that its football team had
been ranked in the Top Twenty.

ASU then displayed its act before
a CBS regional television audience
the following Saturday at The Citadel,
another league foe.

netted 218 yards, ASU jumped out to a

Robert Hill led The Citadel to two
second half scores, but a fourth quar-
ter goal line stand preserved the Apps'
27-16 win.

But the victory was costly. It gave
a hint of things to come as senior
captains John Garner and Terrell
Murphy went down with injuries.

At East Tennessee State the follow-
ing week, ASU racked up its third
straight conference win, a 27-11
shelling. Keyed by a big play aerial
game, the Apps coasted as quarterback
Randy Joyce and Alonzo Upshur hooked-
up on big gains.

The usually effective Mountaineer
ground game was stifled by the Bucs,
so the Apps took to the air. The
biggest play came when Joyce hit
Upshur on a 72-yard touchdown bomb.

"Upshur played as good as he could
play this year," said Brown. "I can't
believe anyone who caught more deep
passes. As we found out how good he
was, we kept going to him more and
more over the course of the season."

Despite over 800 yards in recep-
tions and 35 catches, Upshur was left
off the All-Southern Conference team.

The win over ETSU propelled the
Mountaineers into the 10th spot in
Division I-AA polls. The Apps were
also in a great position to challenge
for the conference crown with a 3-0
league mark.

"We still weren't a good football
team at that point," said Brown. "The
injuries were beginning to catch up
with us."

Among App starters who were side-
lined during the season were Carter,
defensive lineman Leroy Howell, defen-
sive back Everette Withers, and offen-
sive lineman Jeff Wilson.

ASU had reached its peak for the
'83 season.

The following week, in a key con-
ference matchup against UT — Chatta-
nooga, the Mountaineers were
demolished 30-9 at home. UT— C's
wishbone attack controlled the football
while ASU's ground game garnered a
meager 74 yards.

"Everything started mounting and I
could feel it (the loss) coming," said
Brown. "There was no way to stop the
injuries and we caught Chattanooga at
the worst possible time, when they
were struggling."

The Apps barely squeaked out a
Homecoming win against Gardner-
Webb the following Saturday, 21-17.

Trailing 17-7 late in the fourth

ATTACK

quarter, Upshur saved the Mountaineers
again. He first caught a 54-yard touch-
down bomb, then set up Alvin Parker's
game-winning four-yard run with a
51-yard reception.

Furman ended any App hopes of
a SC championship when they destroyed
ASU in Greenville, SC, the next week,
49-0. The loss lowered the Apps' record
to 5-3, 3-2 in loop play, and dropped
them out of the Top Twenty.

Two weeks later the Mountaineers
dropped their second straight contest
with a 33-7 defeat at North Carolina
State. The score was not indicative of
how close a game it was, however. With
four minutes to play in the third
quarter, the Wolfpack lead was only
13-7.

ASU could have actually been
leading at that time had Carter not
dropped an interception that would
have been a certain touchdown. It was
about the only thing Carter failed to
do in a remarkable season for him
personally.

Carter led the team in tackles game
after game, and was among the leaders
in the SC in that category, but oddly
enough, he was left off the all-
conference team.

"Obviously the two interceptions at
Wake were big plays for him," said
Brown. "That's a whole year's work for
most linebackers. But he was in there
on tackle after tackle every week."
Reeling after two losses, ASU
returned to Conrad hoping for its first
winning season in three years. A win
over Marshall would guarantee it.
Parker ensured the Apps of a
winning campaign almost personally, as
he rushed for a school record 37 carries
for 222 yards and two touchdowns.
The ASU rushing game clicked for 339
yards and a 28-19 victory.

The '83 season ended in Cullowhee,
as arch rival Western Carolina buried
the Mountaineers, ensuring themselves
of a Division I-AA national playoff
spot along with Furman.

ASU finished fourth in the
conference with a 4-3 league mark.

"I was pleased with being ranked in
the Top Twenty for the first time in
ASU history," said Brown of the season.
"Beating Wake and finishing in the
upper half of the conference were also

pluses. We beat every team we should
have beat, in addition to Wake Forest."

Brown was also pleased with his
teams accomplishments of pre-season
goals.

"We had three goals this season,"
he said. "The first was to come
together as one unit. We were a family;
a single unit headed in a single
direction. We weren't worried about
personal stats and goals. We were
worried about team goals.

"Secondly, we wanted to do the best
we could do each day," he added. "We
wanted to play hard every game, and we
played hard every quarter."

"We also wanted to be stronger or
in as good condition as we were when
everyone reported. At the end of the
season we gave the players the same
test we gave them in the pre-season

and all were in just as good or better
shape."

Several Appalachian players were
mentioned on all-conference ballots at
the end of the season, but offensive
lineman Ed Boyd was the only one to
make the team.

Honorable mention players included
Settle, Upshur, Wilson, Chris Patton,
and Mark Royals.

"This team never quit," said
Brown, "and there was a question of
that in the past. We played well in the
fourth quarter and didn't lose a game
in the second half in which we led at
half time."

Such strategy gave the Apps their
first winning season since 1980 - and
hope for a bright future within the
Southern Conference and NCAA
Division I-AA.

John Settle was the
Apps' top rusher in
'83 with 613 yards.
With that effort,
Settle was picked
Southern Conference
Freshman of the Year.

Congratulations and
'high fives' were
frequent during the
Mountaineers' 83
season, as they
battled their way to
a winning record.

ASU's Soccer
tradition may now
be a myth.

Editor's Note: Former ASU soccer
player Jose Bernal describes the legacy
of Mountaineer soccer and his account
of its decline. Bernal, a senior from
Colombia, South America, competed in
black and gold for two seasons before
giving up varsity competition in his
sport in 1982.

The 1983-84 soccer season was a
disappointing one. Although
Appalachian State University's
hooters enjoyed a winning season
(8-4-6), the overall outcome was
negative, and most of all, sad.

Why was it a sad season? First, we
lost the Southern Conference title.
For the first time in seven years
and only the second time since 1972,
the ASU program is not the "king" of
the Southern Conference. We used to
enjoy watching our team bring this
long honored title to Boone, and not
doing it now becomes a heart-felt
tragedy for those who love ASU soccer.
The squad did not break the Top Ten in
the south either, which together with
the Southern Conference Championship,
was the goal.

Deeper than these defeats, however,
the saddest of all sorrows to many ASU
hard core soccer fans: our soccer team
had been the pride and glory here since
eleven years ago, when the program
began to build up its terrific
tradition. Every team shivered in front
of our squad; everyone respected us.
It was usual to loudly defeat other
conference teams by scores of ten or
twelve to zero. In the fall of 1979,
the now historic soccer team bit
University of Chatanooga 22-0. It
is hard to believe, is it not?

Also very sad is the fact that just
a few years ago the team drew three,
four, or even five thousand fanatics
to the games who by themselves scared
the hell out of the opponents. Many,
sometimes hundreds, of these fans
would follow their beloved ASU soccer
team to away contests. Presently it
is surprising to find more than 500
people watching a home game. Sad
scene.

Not all was negative for the Apps,
though. Senior Scott Anderson was

Trinidad played an outstanding
season and is the most promising of
all the players for the coming years.
Also, the team is a relatively young
one and next season may be better. We
all hope so, for as coach Rex said at
the beginning of the season,
"Tradition doesn't stand alone;
you must build. It's in the hands of this
year's team to continue the
tradition." He is right - tradition
does not stand alone. Has it become
history then? Thus is appears, but we
must wait a couple of more years to
give this young team a chance.

As John Nedd said, "With the team
as it now is, we cannot do much
better than we did this season, but
if we bring some talented strong
players, we may be able to regain the
conference and have a good season."

ASU reached
deep within to
win the Deep
South Tourney.

One highlight of ASU's 1983-84
fall sports program was the women's
field hockey team. With the support of
six consistently strong players, the
team overcame early season losses
against such powerhouses as Duke to
win the Deep South Tournament.
These six standouts include seniors
Lynn Carrino and Donna Bodine,
junior Terry Zehnbauer, sophomore
Nancy Skripko, and freshmen Frances
Callaway and Michelle Zarro.

Early in the season, the team was
very dependent on these players, but
as the year progressed and the wins
added up, the entire team grew more
confident. The girls held hopes of
victory as they entered the Deep
South Tournament. "The team really
clicked together," first year coach
Melissa Miller stated. "This helped us
to win against Duke."

The Lady Apps knocked off the
Blue Devils two games to one, which
gave the team the needed momentum
to win the tournament.

Duke's loss came as something of
a surprise to the Blue Devil players,
as they had foreseen an easy victory
over ASU.

Following the tournament, both
Carrino and Zehnbauer advanced to
the National competition in California.

Next year Coach Miller hopes to
recruit more players to replace the
graduating seniors from this year's
squad. "I'll be recruiting hard. It'll be
a young team and a year of building,
but I think we should be successful."

A senior spiker and
a sophomore setter
helped the Lady
Apps bounce through
the season for a
credible net return.

The ASU volleyball team, coached
by Toni Wyatt, overcame inexperience
to bounce through an incredible
season. They managed 7 wins and 13
losses despite this imperfection. "Our
team was young and we needed
experience, but we did well," assistant
coach Kathy McDaniel said. "We
played some tough teams, so our
record didn't represent how good we
really are."

Two outstanding players
contributed to the squad's success:
senior spiker Lois Grier and
sophomore setter Traci Blankenship.
Both helped the Lady Apps overcome
Southern Conference opponents like
Western Carolina and East Tennessee
State.

Grier slammed six scoring spikes
to lead the Mountaineers past UNCC
three games to none in an early season
victory. Head coach Wyatt brags, "Lois
is an awesome hitter; she can really
put that ball down." Assistant coach
McDaniel agrees. "Lois is a powerful
hitter, and she has been all-conference
since she was a freshman. We'll be
sorry to lose her."

McDaniel spoke of sophomore
standout Traci Blankenship. "Without
Traci we wouldn't have been as strong.
Since she was the setter, she was one
of the most important players in the
game."

Since Western Carolina and ETSU
are cited as intense rivals for the
volleyers, those contests were two of
the most exciting match -ups for the
Mountaineers. "Western and East
Tennessee are always tight games for
us since they're in our conference and
our rivals," McDaniel stated. ASU
fought for five games before bowing to
WCU, and also defeated ETSU in a
nail-chewing five-game duel.

One exciting match was a learning
experience. "The University of
Kentucky match was an exciting one,"
Blankenship recalled. "They were
ranked fifth in the nation when we
played them. This made us try hardei
to beat them. They also had hugh,
powerful players," she noted.

Next year the team hopes to
attract quality recruits in order to ad<
success and excitement next season.

An intense meeting
with Coach John
Weaver and his Lady
Apps just minutes
before race time.

Fast women have
good times.

Most people will not even get out of
bed on a cold, rainy day, let alone do
what the women on the Lady App Cross
Country team do — run in it. "People
don't realize what conditions we have
to train under," said sophomore team
member Michelle Plaster. Rain is not
the only inconvenience these ladies
must deal with when they run, but
nothing seems to slow them down. It
takes great dedication to be a long
distance runner.

The Most Valuable Runner for 1983
is junior Lisa Mitchell. According to
Coach John Weaver, Lisa is a very
consistent runner. "We know what to
expect from her," he said. "She's not
only the team captain, she's also the
difference between the two. Mitchell is
an example of the type of dedicated
runner that ASU is proud to call her
own."

Weaver described his 1983 team as
greatly improved this season. "Everyone
of our girls has improved her time,"
said Weaver. "The most improved runner
this year is Denise Coholich."

At the North Carolina State
Championship in Raleigh, ASU's women
finished in fourth place. Best runners
for Appalachian in the 5,000 meter run
were Mitchell, Coholich and Tammy
Sawyer.

When the women ran in the NCAA
Region III Championship at Clemson, SC,
Mitchell and Coholich were again top
runners for ASU.

With only one senior on the team,
Weaver looks to next year with
enthusiasm. "Denise is the only person
we will lose," replied Weaver. "But,
she still has one more season of
eligibility. She will be doing her
student teaching so we hope to see her
run for us again."

Other returnees are senior Lisa
Mitchell; freshmen Susan Burnette,
Traci Hutchens, Cindy Little, and
Diane McMahon; sophomores Michelle
Plaster, Liz Polk, and Jeanine
Saffelle; and juniors Susan Ess and
Tammy Sawyer. "We need more recruits
to give depth to the team," said
Weaver. "If the returning girls train
hard over the summer as well, we'll get
exactly what we're looking for."

"Right now we are one step below our
competition," exclaimed Weaver. "But,
this year we gained one whole step in
ability. We are definitely headed in
the right direction!"

For the third time in as many years,
the ASU men's cross country team fi-
nished second in Southern Conference
competition. Behind the strong running
of three senior members - Bobby Wilhoit,
Todd Goewey, and Carlton Law, this
year's squad also finished ninth in
the NCAA Region III Cross Country
Championships at Clemson, SC in Nov-
ember. These three seniors were selec-
ted for the All State Cross Country
Team as well as the All Southern Con-
ference Cross Country Team.

"The North Carolina State Champion-
ship (held in October) marked the first
time ever at ASU that three athletes
were named to the All State Cross
Country Team," said Coach Bob Pollock.

A look at the statistics shows that
these seniors have helped to compile
the 32-1 record during their four year
tenure as Mountaineers.

In the State Championship ASU
placed second (Law), fourth (T. Goewey),
and sixth (Wilhoit), in the 8,000
meter run. Shea finished sixteenth and
P. Goewey 30th.

The Southern Conference Champion
race was held at Moses Cone Park in
Blowing Rock. "This course, which
consists of a rolling terrain, is
probably considered the most scenic
and beautiful of all the courses,"
said Pollock. "The trail is compiled
of a grass and pine needle surface
which runs through the woods. It is a
very challenging course for the run-
ners because of the hills and dips."

As Meet Director, Pollock saw the
need to shorten the course distance
from 10,000 to 8,000 meters. "One
reason for this decision was the fact
that the state championship was only
a week away and it is difficult to
run two 10,000 meter races that close
together and do the best you can,"
said Pollock. "Another reason was due
to the unsafe footing of the upper
maze of the course around this time
of year (fall)."

ASU's T. Goewey placed seventh in
the 8,000 meter event, Wilhoit fi-
nished eighth and Law came in at the
ninth position. Paul Goewey finished
eleventh with Mark Shea right behind
in thirteenth place.

In the Regionals, T. Goewey placed
19th which was only two places
away from qualifying for the NCAA
Championship.

All State and All Southern
Conference Carlton Law is
also one of the best
marathon runners in the
United States. Inset -
senior Bobby Wilhoit paces
the Mountaineers uphill.

As head coach at ASU for 10 years.
Pollock has an impressive 66-14 re-
cord. He looks forward to a winning
season again next year with eight
harriers returning. "We'll have a
young team next year but we have the
ability to do as well as we have in
the past," he commented. Returning
team members include Shea and Paul
Goewey, as well as Harry Williams,
Pat Ambrose, Jim Martin, Jeff Shore,
Mike Curcio and Mike O'Neill.

Todd Goewey was chosen as the 1983
Most Valuable Runner, and Mike Curcio
was selected as the Most Improved
Runner. Team captain for 1983 was
Bobby Wilhoit, with Paul Goewey
taking over the helm next year.

Pollock's philosophy for his team
is simple, and straight forward: "It's
really great to win," he said, "but
it's even better to achieve and be the
best you can be. That is when the win-
ning comes."

With the

reinstatement
of the indoor track
program, ASU's
athletes are now
allowed to
run inside.

Although dropped from the Moun-
taineer athletic budget one year ago,
the Men's and Women's Indoor Track
and Field program has been reinstated
this year at ASU. "The Chancellor
didn't feel that we had good facili-
ties in which to train and hold home
meets," explained women's head coach
John Weaver. "This year ASU reeval-
uated the situation and decided that
an indoor program would be a big
benefit to the outdoor track program.'^
Weaver added that the outdoor seasoi
looks very competitive now due to thi
reinstatement of the indoor activi-
ties.

The Lady Apps run three to four
meets every indoor season between
January and February. But, training
is a year long process. "Because there
is of yet no Southern Conference
Championship for women in indoor
track, there isn't that big meet to
look forward to," stated Weaver. "We
use the indoor season as a way to
prepare for our outdoor season."

Sophomore
speedster
Christy Hunter
surges to the
finish line in
the 55 meter
event.

Weaver added, "Because the Southern
Conference phases one sport a year for
women into the conference champion-
ship, we look forward to an indoor
track championship in the next few
years."

"Running inside is more confined
than on an outdoor course because
there just isn't as much room,"
explained Weaver. "We are always a
second or two faster outside because
there are less turns and the straight-
aways are longer. It's harder to get
better times inside."

Another disadvantage of running
inside is the different types of track
surfaces. "We train on a wooden sur-
face but meets are run on synthetic
surfaces. With spikes on, we run
faster on a synthetic surface, so we
get better time at a meet than in
practice," Weaver stated.

Having broken a handful of school
records this year alone, the women's
team is led by many capable athletes.
"We always have good hopes for doing
well anytime we line up," praised
Weaver.

In the sprints, record setters in
the 55 meter race were Priscilla
Coleman and Christie Hunter, who both
hold a time of seven seconds. In the
'400 meter dash, Val Connelly posted
a 59.9 second record. Lisa Mitchell,
running in the distance races, holds
the mark in the school's books for
the 5,000 meter run with a time of
18:49.6 minutes.

At the Eastman
Invitational
in Johnson
City, TN,
Chuck Mack
challenges
gravity in the
high jump
event.

"With women's sports just getting
developed, we're pleased at the qual-
ity of these ladies," said Weaver.

Men's Indoor Track Coach, Bob
Pollock, echoed the feeling of Weaver.
"Good athletes make the program," he
said. "I'm glad to see the women's
team here at ASU. The girls encourage
our guys to do better and vise versa.
They're a very competitive team and
it's good when both teams are that
way."

According to Pollock, this is the
year for men's indoor track and field
at ASU. "We've got the best indoor
track and field squad we've ever had,"
exclaimed Pollock.

For the running events, sprinter
Kenneth "Flukie" Herndon holds the
school record in the 60 yard dash of
6.10 seconds. Another Mountaineer,
Mike Rigsbee, has tied Herndon's
record. "They are the top two sprint-
ers in the conference," Pollock
praised. In the 400 meter run, David
Carter, who is the outdoor conference
champion, leads ASU. Jesse Dingle
holds the school record in the 880
meter run. "Paul and Todd Goewey, Mike
Jones, and Mike O'Neill are all on
Jessie's heels," said Pollock. Bobby
Wilhoit holds the ASU record in the
indoor 3,000 meter run, while Carlton
Law is the record setter in the 5,000
meter race. "Mark Shea is a big asset
in the long distance," added Pollock.

Holding the school record set this
year in the 60 yard high hurdles, Walt

Foster posted a time of 7.27 seconds.
Right behind Foster is Bennet King.

Jumping 50'9" in the triple jump
and 23'3" in the long jump is freshman
Mike Hanks. Charles Mack holds this
university's record in the high jump
with 7', while both Greg Buckner and
Carl Harris clear 6'9". "Three pole
vaulters are contenders for ASU -
Robert Patterson at 15', Terry
Corriher at 14'6", and freshman Peter
Anderson at 14'," said Pollock.

"The weight men for the Mountain-
eers will have a lot of competition
in the conference," Pollock empha-
sized. For ASU, Steve Jeck, who holds
the outdoor record in this event, is
expected to do the same indoors. "We
can pick up points in the 35 pound
weight with Mike Brooks' 54' 1"
showing (a four foot improvement),"
Pollock pointed out.

Special achievements by ASU indoor
track members include an Olympic time
trial qualification in the marathon
for Carlton Law and David Carter's
appearance in the Commonwealth Games
last year. Carter could possibly be
chosen by his native country, Barba-
dos, to run in the Olympics this
summer.

"We've got the right attitude,
the desire to win, and tremendous
heart. When you've got those three
things, it's tough to stop those
people in their goal," exclaimed
Pollock.

The 1983-84 men's

basketball

squad eluded the

usual spot

in the league

basement to net

a fourth place finish.

The 1983-84 Appalachian State
Men's Basketball campaign was one of
many ups and downs, triumphs and
struggles, and ultimately, wins and
losses. The season was highlighted
with a few important upsets, the estab-
lishment of an impressive home-court
dominance, and an emotional season-
ending home game finale. Locker room
celebrations for the Mountaineers
were more commonplace this year as a
result.

During the preseason, the squad was
almost a consensus choice to end the
season in the conference basement, but
surprised some teams and produced a
fourth-place finish. The Apps remain
a young squad still. The team returned
almost exclusively intact and this
factor proved a valuable asset as the

season progressed. "Maturity is the
ingredient that was present this year,
as opposed to last year," reflects
coach Kevin Cantwell. The players
that were forced into accepting re-
sponsibility prematurely last year
are now better prepared to apply their
experience and are more mature both on
and off the court as a result. This
year's team did acquire two key play-
ers that proved to have an effect on
the outcome of many contests in Glenn
Clyburn and Greg Dolan. Jerome
Williams also has moved in and added
much needed depth in the backcourt.
The transition of these newcomers
was greatly enhanced by the nucleus
of the previous year's recruiting
corps: David Lawrence, Dale Roberts,
Rod Davis, Ron Fiorini, Bill Nealy,
and Jeff Dowd, as well as returning
standout Wade Capehart; a talented
group of individuals in their own
right.

The 1983-84 season, although a
much-improved one for the Mountain-
eers, was one in which some key ab-
sences appeared blaringly evident.
First, Coach Cantwell's netters
played the toughest schedule in his
nine year career here at ASU this
year, with only eleven home games and

few nonconference contests that
proved to be "easy W's". Still,
the Apps were seldom found on the
short end of many routs, and, in
fact, were involved in a majority of
last-second contests. Secondly, "A
Division I attitude" was established
during this season. The players,
coaches, and student body created a
positive atmosphere in Varsity Gym
this season that was quite evident
in their 10-1 home record. "The aver-
age ASU student that attended only
home games probably did not see the
Mountaineers lose," says Coach Cant-
well. "And that in itself is probably
greatly responsible for the team's
success at home this year." Thirdly,
the home-away win ratio was most
important in the current winning ways
of the ASU program. The impressive
record at home this year may prove to
be the impetus necessary to continue
the success on the road in the future.
In reflecting on the overall season
and the point to where the program has
progressed, third year Coach Kevin
Cantwell realistically acknowledges
that important pieces of the puzzle
are not yet in place. A more solid
bench to add depth and experience to
the club is an ingredient that must

be acquired in order for the program
as a whole to continue to improve and
progress. Experience at the point
guard position is another element that
must be constructed to complete the
picture. Coach Cantwell also sees the
program as being "perhaps one recruit-
ing year away" from having the person-
nel holes filled that remain; therein
laying the remaining pieces needed to
complete the structure.

Projections for the immediate fu-
ture of Mountaineer roundball are
optimistic ones. The team will lose
its leading scorer and rebounder in
David Lawrence (15 points) and Dale
Roberts (9 rebounds), respectively.
However, Coach Cantwell feels these
two losses will be more than compen-
sated for with the offensive fire-
power of transfer guard Lynwood Robin-
son and the frontcourt prowess of
•James Carlton. Coach Cantwell also
believes that he will have his first
true point guard in his nine years of
coaching at ASU in Robinson. Similar-
ly, in freshman center Greg Dolan, who
has shown remarkable improvement in
his first season, Cantwell may also
prove to have a dominant center in the
league before his career is finished.
And perhaps most importantly. Coach
Cantwell hopes to successfully carry
over the level of confidence of the
players, coaches, and fans, that has
been established from this season's
increased winning percentage and home
success and continue to build and
multiply that confidence in the up-
coming season.

Coach Cantwell has a positive out-
look on the 1984-85 campaign as a
whole. The Queens Village. NY native
has begun to see the benefits of his
policy implementations that began
three years ago. He believes that par-
ticipating in Division I college
athletics is a "big time job" for
players and the academic part of that
"job" must come first in every situ-
ation. Coach Cantwell is the first
to admit that he is his own best
critic and that he is constantly
in a learning situation himself. To
Coach Cantwell, "success" defines an
individual who continues to keep his
"drive" in his pursuits and remain
happy with his goals and achievements
through whatever course in life he
may be traveling.

As Coach Cantwell continues to
succeed as an individual, we may rest
assured that so will the Appalachian
State men's basketball program.

The Lady Apps
added new talent,
but lost four vital
players to equal an
inexperienced squad.

Although they won three times as
many games as the year before, the
Lady Apps 6-22 record was not much of
an improvement in the 1983-84 season.

Following Christmas, after eight
games, head coach Marian Brewer found
herself in quite a predicament minus
four key players.

The only seniors on the team -
Carolyn Cameron, Betsy McLelland, and
Susan Skeie - elected to "enjoy their
final semester," rather than play
basketball. I

Freshman forward Jackie Anderson
also didn't make it back, due to aca-
demics. Anderson was leading the tea
in rebounding (8.1) and also averaged
9.5 points per game. Cameron, the
only player on the team over six feet
(6'3"), was the second leading re-
bounder with 7.3 rpg and chipped in 7.4

PPg-

"I'm not gonna speculate on what
kind of season we could have had,"
said Brewer. "There's just no sense
in it. It won't do any good."

While Brewer is not proud of her
season, she is not surprised with this
year's outcome. "We were outsized
against every team we played," she
said, "including the smaller division
schools. But we were still in nearly
every game, even with the big ACC
schools."

Due to the lack of teammates, sev
eral youthful and inexperienced
players were forced into action. With
only three lettermen remaining on the
squad. Brewer usually started at least
three first year players.

Freshman forward Karen Robinson
averaged a team-leading 14 points per
game and also ripped 6.5 rebounds a
contest. Included among her perform-
ances was a 32-point, 12-rebound
showing in a 68-55 victory over
Lenoir-Rhyne.

Junior guard LuAnne Underbill, a
5'7" junior college All-American who
transferred from Peace College, was
the team's second best scorer with
over 12 points per game and also
snatched 6.6 rebounds a contest.

Meana Cusimano, a junior center.

produced solid statistics averaging
10 points and 7.5 rebounds a game
despite being only 5'H". She also
led the squad in blocked shots (17)
and field goal percentage (44).

Sophia Morris did a commendable
job running the offense from her
point guard position in just her
sophomore season. The 5'3" speedster
led the team in steals (2.8 per game)
and was also tops in assists at 3.2
iper outing.

Ruth Young, a 5'9" freshman power
forward, showed some flashes of
ibrilliance, especially on the boards.
The Burnsville, NC native turned in
two performances with 10 rebounds and
laveraged nearly nine points a game.

"The young players didn't have much
of a choice," pointed out Brewer.
"They had to get out there and play."

Brewer felt her team had nothing to
be ashamed of despite their record.
'Sure we're disapponted in the over-
all outcome," she said. "But under
the conditions the girls did a very
Fine job. When you're outmanned and

giving it everything, you have nothing
to be ashamed of. I think they all
deserve a job well done."

Brewer feels the Lady Apps can be
competitive in the future with hard
work. "We have a good nucleus coming
back," she stated. "Everybody has
improved in their own right. Nobody
played fully consistently. Everybody's
played good and bad games."

The Mountaineers were outscored by
an average of nine points in their 28
contests. They were able to connect
on only 36 percent of their field
goals as compared to 46 percent for
the opposing team.

The Lady Apps have the potential to
have a respectable season next year
with a good recruiting year. They
are in desperate need of height and
overall depth.

Though ASU usually took the court
with less talent than the opposition.
Brewer pointed out an obvious quality
that commands respect. "They didn't
quit, the always hung in there every
game."

for their best
season ever.

The 1983-84 Appalachian State Uni-
versity Wrestling team, with an 18-2
record, five conference champs, and
two runner-up conference champs, was
the most talented squad ever for the
Mountaineers. The Apps' only two
losses came to NC State and UNC, and
at that time they were missing 7 out
of ten starters with injuries.

After the regular season, ASU head
coach Paul Mance predicted, "VMI has
won 31 straight matches, but we will
end that streak." Not only did his
athletes snap that string of victo-
ries, but they dethroned UT-C, a team
that has held conference champ honors
for the last six years.

Wrestling is an individual as well
as a team sport, and the Mountaineers
have had some outstanding individual
efforts this season. At 33-2, 126
pound junior Thomas Hutchinson was
second place in the conference champ-
ionship. "Hutch" was rated in the top
15 wrestlers in his weight class this
season by National Mat News, was the
Monarch Open champ. Sunshine Open
champ, and Tiger 8 Invitational champ.
"If Hutch is not the best that we've
ever had, he is one of the top three
wrestlers to come out of ASU," said
Mance. Other top performers include
sophomore heavyweight David Besser,
who was a junior college All-Ameri-
can before coming to ASU and won over
75"^ of his matches this year; fresh-
man 190 pounder Thermus "Zeak" Biggs
was 18-3 going into the postseason
with 15 pins to his credit; 177 pound
senior Johnathan Hampton, also rated
in the top 15 by National Mat News;
150 pound sophomore Lee Reitzel, who
won 70'^ of his matches; 142 pound
junior Larry Savides, who came back
from an early season injury to post
over 20 wins; 167 pound senior Steve
Swan, also a former junior college
All-American; and 118 pound senior
Chuck Jones, who raised his record to
22-3 with a stunning upset of the
nation's number one ranked seed,
UT-C's Charlie Heard, in the Southern
Conference Duals. Jones lost to Heard
in the conference championship, re-
ceiving a wild card bid to the Nation-
al Championships.

As a team, the Mountaineers took
ihird in the Eastern Nationals in
Norfolk, VA in November, were fifth
n the Sunshine Tournament and first
it the Liberty-Baptist Tournament,
ivhere they took home championships in
'ive weight classes. "This year's
;eam is by far the best we've had
;ince I've been here as a coach. We
lave had 8 or 9 guys wrestling real
veil. We've had some minor injuries,
jut luckily this year nothing major
las happened," said Mance.

The Apps will send Jones, Savides,
Swan, Hampton, Biggs and Besser to
national competition with an eye on
Placing someone in the NCAA. "Sending
lix wrestlers to the Nationals is a
remendous achievement for us, and
placing at least one would be out-
tanding. We've never placed in the

ve will. This has definitely been our
'ear," said Mance.

Every afternoon, coaches gather their muscled proteges
to push them through gruehng physical exertion. Through
sweat and pain, these athletes learn not just how to spike
or hit a grand slam, or how to stride a lap quickly. They learn
by testing their limits, by challenging goals and never giving
in to frustration or mishap. So when the time came for
coaches to choose their nominees for The Rhododendron
Athlete of the Year, they deliberated and reflected on each
squad member's dedication and sacrifice.

The 31 nominees on this and following pages, including
the male and female Athletes of the Year, are personal
selections of coaches from all university recognized varsity
teams. Selection of The Rhododendron Athletes of the Year
are based on votes from a committee of sports writers from
The Rhododendron and The Appalachian, Sports Informa-
tion Director Rick Covington, Athletic Director Jim Garner,
and Watauga Democrat sports editor Harry Pickett.

Traci Blankenship

doesn't mind dusting her
nose in a dive for the
volleyball, but her
specialty is with the
wrist and fingertips.
As a sophomore setter,
the Raleigh native ful-
fills a leadership role
by calling all court
plays. A quick volleyer,
Blankenship doesn't
"mind hitting the floor,"
but because of her height
offensive positioning is
her forte. "I set because
I'm short. If I had a 40
inch vertical jump it
would be different," she
says. Some day, Blanken-
ship hopes to utilize her
eight years of net exper-
ience in a coaching
capacity

In the summer of 1983,
the Olympics came to
Boone. The ASU baseball
field was one of ,38 cities
for Olympic baseball
tryouts, and as a first
runner up selection,
Richard Bosley is an
Olympic hopeful. The
Maryland native utilizes
changing speeds and his
slider and palm ball to
pitch five wins and only
one loss last spring. As
a freshman, his ERA was
one of the top ten in the
nation. But Bosley doesn't
just play from the mound
"I play the field," he
says, having expertise
at eU infield positions
except shortstop.

Like most caliber
athletes, David Carter

has sacrificed social
life to become the best
400 meter runner to ever
compete on Southern
Conference asphalt. But
to win, he has sacrificed
family life as well. The
Barbados native is now
a Boone citizen, residing
here to rewrite the ASU
record books without a
home visit since he en-
rolled three years ago.
Carter is homesick, but
nevertheless glad to
study in Boone. "I'm now-
getting used to the at-
mospheric conditions,"
he says. He must be,
since the senior almost
qualified for the Nation-
als in both the 400 and
200 meter events.

The ladies' body
building champion. Miss
Mountaineer 1984, does
more than pump iron in
the weightroom. Priscilia

n<)oleinan's muscles also
stride around the track,
pierely tenths of a second
jBway from National qual-
ification in the UK) and
^ meter spurts. The
junior captain was also
\undefeated at both sprint-

, last spring, and owns

► four Lady App schoo
records. Coleman has
natural blazing speed;

- she must also have a
gifted ability to build
rrrascles since the body
building champ's first
visit to a weight room
was as a college fre"
man. For now, muse.
competition is secondai
to the starting blocks.

Even though senior
Mike Brooks has alreadyl
been All Southern Con
ference fotJr times and
conference champ in the
discus event, he says,
"I'm the strongest I've
ever been in my life."
The Memphis TN native
returned from Officer
Candidate School for
Marines this summer
ready to vie for school
records in his discus
specialty, as well as in
the indoor and outdoor
hammer throws. He is
already second on the
all time ASU performance
lists at all three weight
events. It is a heavy
task, but Brooks utilizes
technique and speed in
the circle, and also
looks, listens, and learns
at away meets.

For Donna Bodiiie, '

field hockey is a sport
that will "itick." After
graduation, the senior
physical education major
wants to teach her tech-
niques. "I'd like to
coach it," she dreams.
But can Bodine pass on
the skills that earned
her first-team Deep South
honors? Positioning,
hand -eye coordination, a
steady stick, aggressive-
ness, and top defense are
hardly sketched out on a
clipboard. The New Jersey
native learned from pre-
miere coach Melissa
Miller that coaching
transitions can be
"hectic." Overall though.
Bodine nervously antici-
pates her first year of
coaching.

Joel Carter never met
his father. His dad died
two months before Carter's
birth, so the linebacker
plays football for his
mom. "She's number one
to me." he says. "All my
life she'.« been giving me
things I wanted, and she
has sacrificed. 1 wanted
to give something back to
her." Maybe he was think-
ing about his mom when he
helped .A.SU beat Wake
Forest, intercepting two
passes for touchdowns and
recording 18 tackles. He
was named Southern Con-
ference Player of the
Week, and later downed
19 men versus NC State.
"You feel so close to the
guys you play with, that
you just want to do your
job so bad. " he relates.

What is the winning
strategy of a wrestler
who currently stands at
33-1 on the mat? Junior
Tom Hutchinson says, "I
am not a scrappy brawler,
but a technician. I try
to slick my man." As a
freshman, the Rock Hill,
SC native was an unde-
feated Southern Confer-
ence Champion at 126
pounds. As a sophomore,
"Hutch" was down with a
knee fracture, but not
out. "I don't get down
about misfortune," he
explains. Head coach
Paul Mance has been one
positive influence for
the criminology major.
"Coach almost uses brain-
washing," he notes, "so
that as a player, you
can't think of any other
way but to win."

When Lynn CarriliJl i

confides, "I never cease '
to amaze myself," she
is not bragging. Rather,
the Neptune, New Jersey
native is incredulous
at being honored as one
of the best stick wield -
ers in the south. "It's
not that my skill level
is so great," she admits.
"I just keep driving and
driving and driving."
All this "driving"
allowed ASU's aggressive
top scorer to travel
even further: to National
competition in Califor-
nia. Carrino, just a
sophomore, bounced back
from a sprained ankle
and a strained quadricep
to earn first team Deep
South recognition as
well. . -

|helly Laney

ilicize her
love: golf. She says,
"I wish more people at
ASU knew that we have a
girl's golf team." As an
athlete who once competed
on the green with the
guys, Laney also welcomes
female competition as
more women tee off.
"There are opportunities
in tournaments," she
notes. "You just have to
go out and find them."_
Laney has seized oppor-
tunity at ASU, stroking
the lowest scoring
average in the 1983 fall
tournaments. The Char-
lotte, NC native is
accurate with her iron
game, and her goal is
, to continue improvement
and remain consistent.

Sand traps aren't the
main obstacles for ASU
golf squads. Often, the
swingers must tee off
with a few inches of
snow accumulation. So
why is Lee Duncan a top
golfer? "I normally beat
everybody else," he says
of the intersquad com-
petition for position.
Duncan, who has been
swinging on the fairways
since the age of nine,
possesses an accurate,
solid swing. He's a
talented putter, too.
The senior describes his
level of expertise. "If
you play enough, you
just hit the ball and it
goes in the right spot.
You don't worry about
what could go wrong," he
explains modestly.

ne would think tnat
Chuck Jones, weigh-
less than 120 pounds,
wouldn't have to skip
meals and count calories.
However, the Charleston,
SC native diets to com-
pete at 118 pounds in

mate sport": wrestling.
The senior has bee

How can Lisa Nutcneli

run up to 12 miles
daily, in frigid cold,
pouring rain, and dodge
dangerous motorists
regardless? What moti-
vates the Toms River,
New Jersey native to race
25 laps around a track?
"Running is something
I've always done. I can't
imagine mysek' not doing
it," Mitchell explains.
"When youSw been'' run-
ning for so long, you don't
think twice." The junior
as been dedicated to a
ong distance regimen
since seventh grade, and
her nine years of ex-
perience has paid off.

iuyana^iexico - Jonn
Nedd has traveled to
these countries and many
more to serve his home-
land's professional
hooters, the Trinidad
National Team. So why is
an international caliber
athlete thumping a soccer
ball around Conrad
Stadium? The sophomore
states, "Education is
the benefit I'm getting.
ASU gets the rest of the
benefit." Nedd has
gained education from
pro league competition,
too: better technique
and ball control.

Fans that watch sopho-
more guard Sophia Morris
dribble believe that the
Wilson leather basketball
is an extension of her
hand - until she passes
off, adding another
assist, or cocks her
wrist to strip the net
for two points. Even
though Morris dazzles
the crowd while in uni-
form, she says, "I am a
quiet athlete. I enjoy
keeping to myself. I
come home from practice
and listen to the radio."
As a freshman, the Walnut
Cove, NC native ran the
offense as a starting
point guard. "At first,
I was as nervous as could
be," she relates.

Bvia uiwrence is no

ordinary basketball
guard. Standing only
6'3", he regularly soars
to stuff the leather
down the rim. Power
moves and short jumpers
are his assets, while
the senior co-captain
admits that his drib-
bling is a weakness.
Ironically, ASU's
leading scorer with 15
tallies a game would
rather play defense
love defense much men
than offense," Lawrence
notes. "It gets the tea:
motivated." Yet, the St.
Matthews, SC native doe"
not feel pressured when
the team passes to him
for two in clutch situ-
ations. As he explains,
"You can only put pres-,
sure upon yourself.

What tennis ace owns
11 ASU swimming records?
It is not the water works
of Melanie Riley tliat
make her prowess on the
tennis courts. When the
Athletic Department
drowned the swimming
program two years ago,
Riley raised a racquet
to become a varsity
tennis team hit with no
previous net experience.
Now, as a senior, Riley
, is the third seed after
^ a summer of tournament
play. "Playing tough
matches day in, day out
improves your general
attitude of play," the
Augusta, GA native says,
"Playing sporadically
doesn't help." Results

i: Laneal Vaughn is not
the first of his lineage
to raise a racquet at
ASU. His father, Larry
Vaughn, was a varsity
swinger from 1962-1964.
Two decades later, the
next Vaughn in line is
the number one seed as a
sophomore. In his pre-
miere season, the Ashe-
ville native was third in
the Southern Conference
at the number three seed,
and second in the league
at number three doubles
play. Vaughn's specialty
is the backhand. He is
aggressive and says,
"I'm not real fast, but
I overpower the people
I play."

p-' A renowned tennis
* coach is the Light that
*led talented recruit

Rusty Woy to ASU. In
^iJther words, the Shelby,
;,NC native wanted to
.volley for Head Coach
Bob Light. As a freshman,
Woy says that Light has
already helped him im-
prove. "I used to have a
bad temper and I'd get
hot on the court," he
recalls. "Coach Light has
helped me control my
temperament and play
every point lOO'^J." Woy
is already the number
two seed, and owes his
net value to his father,
a former All American
basketball player at
East Tennessee State
University. "He inspired
me," praises Woy. "When I
got lazy, he'd fire me up."

Sandi O'Loughlin has

always been a slugger.
"Maybe it's getting
dirty, or taking frus-
trations out on that
ball, but Softball has
been a major part of mji,
life since I was eighl
years old," she says.J
O'Loughlin's father
wanted her to wield a
tennis racquet, though.
"I started swinging over
the fence," she recalls.
"Then my dad got the idea
that I didn't want to
play tennis." She now
hits the Softball over
the fence with a team-
leading number of home
runs. The senior All-
State player keeps fit at

It is as difficult to
imagine Bobby Wilhoit
not competing as it is
to imagine him not
breaking the tape as a
winner. After all, the
senior is the best Moun-
taineer 10,000 meter
runner to ever jump at
the starting gun, and
the best Southern Con-
ference steeplechase
competitor to ever splash
in the water pit. But
on the verge of gradu-
ation, Wilhoit says,
"In a couple of years, •
I'll probably have a
career and a family to -, ,
support. Running will i
take a back seat." For*
now, though, the Greei^
boro native ranks on
ASU's All Time Perform-
ance Lists in every race.

Last season junior
LuAnne Underhill wasn't
playing basketball on
ASU's hardwood. She
dribbled for Peace
College; All American.
Now that the Wendell,
NC native has been en-
ticed to strip the net
for the Lady Apps.
Underhill currently nets
12 points and grabs seven
rebounds per contest. The
wing guard tells of the
stress she experienced
as a new roundball star
starter for ASU. "I
wasn't playing as well
as what was expected of
me, and I added to the
pressure myself," she
^explains. "Novjj it has

field goal and added six
other tallies against
Wake Forest, earning him
Offensive Player of the
Week honors. Yet a year
ago, Van Aman was booting
ASU's Club Football Te^m
to the State championship
crown. The senior notes ,vi«
the difference between
a varsity uniform and
club status. "Wiih var- ?
sity, they have your
whole day platujed out
for you," he says. "It's
more of a job. but I
like playing a high
intensity game."

- Rusty Weaver is

clutch. The senior who
handles line drives at
shortstop, slams vital
hits for a .361 average,
drives in a top number
of RBIs, and steps on
the mound in late innings
to deliver short relief
for an ailing pitching
staff has to be cool and
confident. There is no
need for anxiety, ex-
plains the Indiana
senior, a junior college
transfer from Michigan.
"If I work hard in prac-
tice and get everything
down fundamentally,"
Weaver attests, "it will
come in games. I don't
have to worry."

Team unity and leaders-
ship .According to Alonzo
I'pshur, those were the
keys to success for ASU's
I'tHS football campaign.
"Other years, the team
'asn't close, but this
iflr, we were like fam-
says the senior,
e ate together, we
rayed together, and we
.believed in each other."
IJpshur was certainly a
key contributor on the
turf too, catching 35
passes for 809 yards. The
Marketing and Manage-
ment major attributes
his ability to teammates
and his religious faith.
"Football players go
through a lot, but we
were helped by our belief
in the Lord," relates,
Upshur.

uTis- diftici
team player Lori Treiber

to brag about herself.
Although the sophomore
has handled a leadership
.jole as starting pitcher,
"*he talks of the team
concept which brought her

^fkce: the Lady ."^ppsV
Ti^eded depth on the
mimnd. As a prep second
baseman for fast pitch
competition, Treiber
made a transition to the
mound for the slow pitch
game. ''1 like pitching,"
she ci;mments. "I see a
lot of action. Softball
is fast but it involves
thinking." Then, the
Columbia, SC native re-
turns to the team. "I
love team sports." she
says. "You depend on
others and work together."

For senior Dale Roberts,

it is a tradition to suit
up in black and gold. As
a transfer from the
University of South
Carolina - Lancaster,
the 6'9" center has worn
those colors since high
school. Roberts, who is
currently averaging 9
points and 9 rebounds
per game, admits his
assets to ASU's black
and gold: improved
quickness, aggressiveness,
boxing out for the re-
bound, and hustle. But
the Hopkins, SC native
says, "I don't get too
much into myself. I just
lay hard."

THE 1 984 RHODODENDRON

LOIS GRIER

Female Athlete of the Year

Slam it down their throats - that
is what The Rhododendron female Ath
lete of the Year has done for four
years at ASU. When the volleyball
floats off a setter's fingertips more
than likely Lois Grier will soar to
slam it over the net in the face of
the opposition.

At 5'7", the spiker is short to be
a hitter. Yet when she lines up
against girls six feet and taller, she
has a four-year hitting percentage of
85.2 '^(. In other words, about 85 "^o of
the time when Grier contacts the ball
for a spike, she kills it. Take for
instance this season's contest with
UNCC. Grier recorded six scoring
spikes as the Lady Apps won three
games to zero. Says ASU's head volley
ball coach Toni Wyatt, "Lois is a
power hitter mainly because of her
vertical jump and versatile hitting."

Her leaping ability, which Grier
perfects by jumping rope, is not the
athlete's only asset. The volleyer
is very consistent. In four years as
a Mountaineer, Grier's play boasts a
96.3 serving percentage. That is, 96%
of the time, Grier serves the ball in
bounds over the net, often times re-
cording aces that no opposition can
touch. Last year, she missed only one
serve in the entire season.

For Grier, honors are also consis-
tent. Every time the athlete has faced
the net for tournament competition,
she has received All Tournament suc-
cess. As a highly touted high school
Ail-American, Grier has also been
nominated for collegiate All- American
status for the past three years, but
she has failed to gain the national
limelight since the Lady Apps have not
reached the national tournament. The
spiker had a banner premiere season at
ASU, being chosen All-State and All-

Regional, and repeated All-State
honors her sophomore season. Grier
has been All Southern Conference for
the last two years, and as a junior
led the Mountaineers to a conference
crown and a 29-5 record.

To what does Grier owe her success?
"God gave me natural talent," she
notes, but says that her father has
been a positive push. "My dad coached
me from the eighth grade up," she
explains. "Since I came to college, he
has stayed on me hard. He says, 'Don't
do well. Do great.' He's made me the
athlete I am."

Because ASU's Coach Wyatt and Mr.
Grier share similar coaching philoso-
phies, the athlete was attracted to
ASU. "I fell in love with the school,"
she relates. This year, Grier shared
her enthusiasm for black and gold by
showing recruits around campus as a
Mountaineer Babe.

ATHLETES OF THE YEAR

>COTT ANDERSON

*/Iale Athlete of the Year

Playing professional soccer may be
a reality for The Rhododendron male
Athlete of the Year. Senior Scott
Anderson may be joining the ranks of
the pro league which he has idolized
since the age of four. "Most of my
days I'd go to soccer games and see
the pros," he recalls. "It carried me
through my childhood."

Anderson explains his goal of set-
ting a professional example. "If I
can make my dream a reality, then
maybe some little boy out there can
have a dream," he replied.

If one motivation for making pro-
fessional status is giving kids some-
thing to hope for, his family is ano-
ther. Soccer has created a close bond
between the Anderson clan. His two
aider brothers, one of whom was a
:ollegiate All-American, are both
3xcellent hooters, and his father is
in avid soccer fan. Says Anderson, "I
ivant to make the pros for my father.
[ want to give something back to my
iad and let him know that I love him."
He also indicated that playing soccer
constantly without working part-time
)vas a financial burden on his family,
md he hopes to play professionally
;o prove that his parents' efforts
were not wasted.

Besides financial support, Ander-
fon's family gave emotional reassur-
mce too. The athlete confided that
lis best asset is, "the fact that I
lever lose my cool. My whole family
las helped me work on that quality.

As the youngest, I used to have a big
head," he admits, "my family taught
me to be more humble and to never lose
my temper."

Anderson has physical capabilities
to complement this cahn determination.
ASU head soccer coach Art Rex praises,
"Scott can hit well with either foot, k
When he's on, he is basically unstop- ?.
pable."

Anderson has suited up for three
different positions in his four year
term as a Mountaineer. "We didn't
find a home for him," coach Rex notes.
"The program was rebuilding so we had
to count on his versatility." Conse-
quently, the athlete is the first
Southern Conference soccer player
to be named All-Conference at three
different positions. As a sophomore,
he was all league at his favorite
field position, center halfback. He
maintained his All-Conference status
as a sweeperback his junior year, and
then switched from defense to offense.
As a center forward this season, An-
derson was named Southern Conference
Player of the Year, leading the league
in scoring with 34 points. Of his
success, Anderson notes, "Any honor that
I get I take as a chance to do
better."

Even with next October and Novem-
ber's professional tryouts on his
mind, soccer is mainly fun for Ander-
son. "I love taking care of my body,"
he says. "I tend to play around out
of sheer enjoyment. Maybe if I had
more of a killer attitude at times . . ."

The Wrath of Gilles

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY BABETTE

When traveling evangelist James Gilles
came back for his second "Sermon on the Mall"
last November, people were waiting for him
with banners and chants. Some 300 students
gathered to listen, whistle, scream, laugh, and
opinionate.

Every campus receives their share of
traveling preachers, but ASU was not used to
the Hell Fire and Brimstone delivery of Brother
Jim. As his general censure of student morality
rose to its vehement high, the menacing crowd
of students slowly moved in on his position both
physically and religiously.

People's responses were mixed; some tried
to elbow their way in and ask reasonable
questions to make sense of it all, others chose
to view it as a three ring circus, and some
viewed it as a staged psychology test.

Gilles, from Evansville, Indiana travels all
over the country speaking on college campuses.
ASU was the 103rd campus in 30 different
states that he had spoken to.

Gilles' speech recounted in detail his
former life as someone running with the devil.
He expounded on the horrors of sex, drugs, and
rock and roll, and how out of the pits of Hell,
he was saved by God. He yelled to the crowd,
"I once met a wicked woman who had a silly
mother. This poor deceived girl fell for the
oldest lines in the book. I prompted her with,
'I love you.' I coaxed her with, 'The only way
I can truly express my love for you is to make
love to you.' That's the one Delilah used on

MUNN
Samson," he said.

When Gilles inevitably got around to
condemning homosexuals, he affected a
feminine posture - giving rise to jeers of all
sorts. He said, "One day I found out my drug
dealer was a Ho-Mo-Sexual; like most big drug
dealers he was a queer." The students then
joined in with the sing song chant, "Ho-
Mo-Sexual, Ho-Mo-Sexual, Ho-Mo-Sexuall"
Gilles would then quote scripture and brandish
the Bible like the wrath of God were to descend
any moment.

Some students tried to break through the
crowd and take case with him, but to no avail.
Jim White, ASU student and member of
Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship said, "My
problem was that he claimed Christianity yet
distorted its message."

Dr. Jim Winders, a history professor said,
"It was ironic that he spoke during the end of
the fall semester during the time we were
discussing the radical protestant reformation
movement in England when similar preachers
were caUing for the end of time and Christ's
return."

Minister of the Presbyterian Church, Bill
Knox, felt Gilles was a mixed up person. He
said, "It became a ridiculous form of
entertainment. He simply castigated people."

It's evident that whatever the response,
traveling evangelist, James Gilles left quite an
impact on ASU's campus.

Fred Helms
right in the
heat of preach-
er Gilles
harangues.
Originally from
Monroe, he is
currently
working and
studying to be
a Baptist
preacher.
Helms

said, "Christ
came here to
witness in love
and show ho
sins could be
forgiven -
instead this
guy criticized
everyone and
sent people to
hell."

"Waking up people
from apathy," is

thinks the students are wonderful at ASU,
and commented how they literally took
him by the hand when he first came and
helped him find his way around. He grows

Journey Frcgn Co^uipbia

As a wanderer I came to the USA pursuing a dream.
Endless, snake-like highways crawled all over the Land of
Plenty reminding me of Cat Stevens' song "Where do the
Children Play?". The USA impressed me for the evident
wealth that floods its homes and institutions.

I left Columbia looking for myself, for my path with
heart. I came to the States following the urge to expand my
field of vision, to come in contact with different perspectives
on life, and unconsciously, to make sure that all the peoples
of the world are, after all, just people.

When I came to the part of the Earth we call the States,
I did not have a particular route to follow. I wanted the
Universe to guide me, to show me that place where it thought
I would fit best. And it so happened that life indeed had a
home for me in Boone and a soccer scholarship at ASU, too.

A senior psycho-

of the shooting,
she was ready for
exams to come to
an end, and said,
"I can't wait for
the semester to
be over and go
down this moun-
tain."

All of this was totally unexpected but welcome.

When I came here, I knew no one in the entire USA.
But Americans, most of you, received me with great joy, open
homes, and helping hands. I am so very grateful for this! Very
soon I was playing soccer in front of 4,000 fanatics yelling,
"ASU . . . ASU . . . ASU . . .!" It was a fantastic feeling. I was
a stranger no more just a couple of weeks after I came to
Boone.

Going back to my freshman year, I remember the fall
as the most incredible spectacle I have ever experienced.
Columbia is a tropical country and we have no seasons there.
Here, rainbow-clothed mountains warm under a luminous sun
traversing an all blue sky. ASU was the best school I could
have come to, I immediately knew. Then, in Homecoming
week-end of 1980, I was running after gentle, mandala-like

snow flakes catching them but they would melt as soon. It
was like trying to kiss butterflies as they flew by. It was
unbelievably beautiful, the first time I saw snow.

I thank ASU and Boone for being a wonderful part of
my life. For four years ASU has been much to me: the school
where my searching mind saw seeds grow and Utopian castles
bloom in hope and love, the home where I laughed and cried
while most everyone else was going home to do so. I love ASU,
these mountains with their crazy weather and beautiful
people. The longer one lives in Boone, the more one loves
it. In spite of all the hardships and nothings-to-do, this place
has some magic energies and a majestic simplicity that
envelops one's heart and does not let go. Sometimes I wish
I was a freshman to start all over again.

SEARCHING FOR TALENT

ARTICLE BY ROBBIE REAVES

Our House was supposed to have been a
place where students could lounge, enjoy
refreshments, and be entertained by performing
students. This idea was conceived by Greg
Galloway six years ago. Since then Our House
has grown much larger but has strayed away
from a coffee shop atmosphere.

Our House was part of a Student
Government plan for Developmental Entertain-
ment. The current Director of Developmental
Entertainment is Mike Hanna, a graduate
student. His assistant, Paul Van Guilder, is the
Publicity Director.

Our House of Developmental Entertain-
ment is advised by Campus Programs, a
division of Complementary Education. The
main idea behind Our House was that the
performing would be done by students for
students as well as being run by students.
Throughout its six year existence it has kept up
with this idea of a student-run program.

"We (Paul and I) do all the work; booking
the acts, working with the staff of the Student
Union, setting up chairs, putting up posters,
giving out press releases and ads. We do it all,"
said Mike Hanna. Their positions are paid; and
they are serious about their work.

The main production for Our House is the
auditioning of acts for the Mountaineer Talent
Search. "In the past there has been an idea that

Our House was a Christian organization because
so many of the acts had a religious background
which is true, but we take any and all
auditioners; we have no prejudice," explained
Hanna.

In the last couple of years refined
performers have taken the stage in Our House
to audition for the Talent Search bringing
crowds of followers and fans. "It has really
gotten crowded at the audtions the last couple
years as compared to the past," said Hanna.

The winner of the Talent Search is
awarded 300.00 dollars, second place receives
200.00 dollars, third place receives 150.00
dollars while each of the other seven of the top
ten receive 50.00 dollars.

The judging of the preliminary auditioning
is done by students. There is usually a music
major, a drama major, a voice major and
someone from the student body for an overall
viewpoint. The judges for the finals of the
Talent Search, however, are professionals
picked from the community for some talent that
they specialize in. For the last couple of years
the judges have been; the President of Lees
McRae College, the voice professor of Lees
McRae, Assistant Vice Chancellor Barbara
Daye, and the winner as well as beginner of The
Mountaineer Talent Search, Greg Galloway.

LECTURE SERIES

In 1982, the Artist and Lecture Committee
unified their efforts to find major speakers by
developing a theme. The theme for this year's
Series was entitled, "Whose Earth? Our
Environment in the '80's". Dr. Ole Gade of the
Geography Department coordinated some very
controversial speakers, beginning with Hugh
Kaufman, Director of the Environmental
Protection Agency's toxic waste program.

Kaufman, known as 'the Whistle Blower',
spoke on the Great Hazardous Waste Scandal.
It was his testimony before Congress in 1978
that exposed the Love Canal Case. He aroused
ASU's conscience as well, especially with his
candid criticism of the Reagan Administration's
environmental policies.

On November 16th, the series moved on to
host Dr. Barry Commoner, an environmentalist
and former presidential candidate. Asking 200
students at Farthing Auditorium, "Who is
deciding what to do with our national
resources?" He stressed that those making
decisions are more interested in short-term
porfits, i.e., those of the big oil companies. He
pointed out the close-knit ties between
economic and political issues, stressing that
Americans need to move towards "social

governance" of the country's resources, and put
a stop to big companies running the show.

Wrapping up the series was Karl Gross-
man, an award winning journalist, who roused
the campus with the issues of toxic chemicals
and governmental entanglement in a conspiracy
to poison America for their profit. Grossman
told shattering tales and projected reams of
slides to about 300 students revealing the
government and chemical industry's conspir-
atorial production and use of hazardous
chemicals - use that is causing cancer epidemics
in the U.S. Grossman said chemicals like EDB
pesticides, PCB's and the pesticide Temik (one
used by farmers which has been found to be ten
times more powerful than cyanide), have
increased the percentage of environmentally
caused cancer to between 80 and 90 percent.
"Wait until the '90's," said Grossman, referring
to the time that chemicals need to build and
manifest themselves in the environment.

The frightening facts revealed through all
three speakers left quite an impact on ASU
students and faculty. Many thanks go to the
speakers and the organizers of the Lecture
Series for bringing crucial issues to the
forefront. - Babette Munn

A very special thanks to those
special few who helped us when
we were in need Mike Rominger,

Dr Susan Cole, Noel Lovelace,
and the folks at Memory Savers

"Those few who stuck it out to the bitter
end are weird now; they just wander the
halls, babbling incoherently about
line-lengths and contact sheets: a horrible
end for such young and talented minds."

This is supposed to be a humorous
final word, but nobody up here on the
third floor of Workman Hall is in a very
funny mood at the moment. There's
laughter enough - spooky, maniacal
laughter which emanates from the various
poorly lit offices occasionally, but then
it's usually stifled by heavy sighs, as
though a three hundred pound type-
writer were being slowly lowered on
someone's chest.

In the beginning, way back in
September, The Rhododendron staff
consisted of many bright-eyed, eager
students, but six months have taken their
toll. A great portion of that original staff
is not with us here today. Oh, they're
alive; they just quit. They preferred the
safe harbor of sanity and the relatively
pressureless atmosphere of a normal
academic life. They missed all the glamor
and excitement of producing this tome,
but it's doubtful they regret it. Those few
who stuck it out to this bitter end are
weird now. They weren't at the beginning.
Well, perhaps they were but only latently
so, only needing this trauma to bring their
mental anguish into active duty. Now
they just wander the halls, babbling
incoherently about line lengths and
contact sheets: a horrible end for such
young and talented minds.

To say that working on this book was
fun would be a lie. Going to parties is fun;
staying up all night writing captions for
club pictures is not. The experience was
enjoyable, but not in the sense that we
would want to do it again.

One day, close to the end, the staff
was gathered in one of the offices
fervently working on some aspect of the
book when a rare moment of lucidity
came upon one of the editors. "You
know," he said, "Working on this
yearbook has been the most valuable
experience I've had in my twelve years in
college. It's made me realize just how
much time and dedication it takes to see
something through that you really believe
in. I'm glad I am a part of it." He then
became silent, his left eye twitching
spasmodically. A queer, drooling grin
spread across his face as he sharpened a
new Bic pen down to an inky, two inch
nub. We haven't seen him lately, but
everyone present that day agrees with his
words. We hope that you enjoy this, your
1984 Rhododendron, for many years to
come.
